Description
Step into timeless charm and modern comfort with this beautifully updated 1880s farmhouse, expanded in 1996 to blend classic character with contemporary living. Nestled on 1.68 picturesque acres outside the city limits with no deed restrictions, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers room to breathe, play, and grow.
The spacious primary suite is conveniently located on the main floor and features a large walk-in closet, a separate shower, and a relaxing jetted soaking tub. Hardwood floors run throughout the main living areas and bedrooms, adding warmth and timelessness.
Relax in a rocking chair on the front porch overlooking the expansive front yard or head upstairs where you'll find two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and can take in the outside views from the charming upstairs balcony.
Delight in cooking and gathering with friends and family in the beautiful kitchen, complete with a large custom island and stainless-steel appliances. A sliding door from the spacious kitchen and dining area opens onto a deck overlooking the fenced side yard—ideal for grilling, unwinding, and offering a safe, secure space for pets to roam.
The long, tree-lined driveway leads to an attached 3-car carport, complete with a 2-car parking pad that also doubles as a spacious covered patio—perfect for outdoor entertaining. You'll also find a separate RV or boat carport, a wired workshop w/ concrete slab behind, and an additional storage shed to accommodate all your tools, equipment, and hobbies!
Updates since 2022 include a new roof (main portion), HVAC unit, gas stove/oven, microwave, refrigerator, washer/dryer (which convey!) and a new moisture barrier in the crawl space. Several furnishings/décor are for sale/negotiable as well!
This is the best of country living—peaceful, practical, and picture-perfect. Don't miss your chance to make this one-of-a-kind farmhouse your forever home.
