Enjoy this charm of this historic farm house on 5.59 private acres. Sits nicely back off the road. Tax assessment says built in 1850, current owners believe the original portion of the home to have been built in 1747 and an addition in approximately 1849. Home offers balconies, spacious rooms, nice wood floors on the first floor, separate laundry/utility room on main level, nicely updated kitchen with new cabinets, granite and kitchen island, has newer vinyl windows and new doors . Upstairs offers 3 nice sized bedrooms and a sitting room off the Master Bedroom. Fireplaces were woodburning but converted to gas. Enjoy the hot tub, small fish pond and nice flower gardens. Best of all, there is a newer garage/storage building with electric that offers parking for about 4 cars and has and upstairs loft and 10 foot overhang to the side. If you are looking for acreage and privacy and enjoy the charm and the character of an older home, this one may be for you! Bring the animals! Great country setting yet minutes back to I-81 and the MD line.
