Country living with spacious house & lot along the creek. This 4 bedroom, 3 bath home has been remodeled to include major upgrades in HVAC, plumbing and electric systems and includes 2 bedrooms on the 1st floor. The home was constructed in the early 1900's, but has had many modern improvements, but still reflects the woodwork of the construction period through the hardwood flooring, mantle, trim & staircase accents. The lot is almost an acre and fronts the creek on one boundary with a large yard for children or animals to roam. Just outside Rural Retreat and minutes to I-81 for any commuting, this location has long range views of the agricultural community and with a soothing creek running alongside it.
