Ready to homestead? This farmhouse is located north of Chelsea on the edge of the Waterloo Rec Area in a beautiful country setting with mature fruit trees and enough land to have an animal or two. The old ice house has been converted to a chicken coop and the small barn, that houses an old stone forge, could be restored as an additional outbuilding. The single story part of the home was built in 1841 with a 2 story addition added in 1873. Its interior has been AMAZINGLY preserved, right down to the original kitchen cupboards (which are move-able), wood floors, worn thresholds, and even some original glass in the windows! Homes of this era did not have closets in the bedrooms, although they have been added to 2 of them. The electrical, plumbing, furnace, siding AND septic system are all updated. The tin roof on the 2 story side is still in great shape but the single story side needs a new roof - for which the sellers are willing to contribute $3,500 toward that cost.
