Interior photos to come! Come home to bygone-era tranquility and contemporary comfort in this happy farmhouse. Inside you will find a welcoming interior filled with warmth and historic simplicity. The private and expansive lot offers endless possibilities. Whether to relax on the front porch, host a barbecue in the backyard, create a garden oasis, or have hens for eggs, this property has it all. There is a long driveway for evening walks, a postcard-perfect wraparound porch for the morning cup of coffee, and a timeless feeling of quiet strength. The main level includes a cozy living room, spacious kitchen, dining area, and large bedroom/den with adjoining full bathroom. Completing this level are another full bathroom near the dining area, and a main floor laundry room. Upstairs are 3 additionally spacious bedrooms (2 with walk-in closets) and a full bath. This farmhouse was beautifully remodeled in the Fall of 2024, with new hardwood floors throughout (except for laundry and 2 baths), newly replaced HVAC ductwork and plumbing, a rebuilt main chimney, raised tile hearth, new kitchen & appliances, new comfort-height toilets, and an updated bathroom with new vanity & walk-in shower insert. The yard has been fully enclosed with fencing, for furry friends to safely play. A small covered porch off the laundry room is perfect for grilling or storing firewood. Step into the fresh, bright kitchen, with new white cabinetry and lots of space. The walls have been freshly painted through most of the house, and the ceilings retextured on the 1st floor. Extremely well-insulated but open, with an abundance of windows to showcase gorgeous views. Original woodlap in the foyer & laundry room helps retain the charm of the past. A detached 3-car garage (one door around side) provides ample space for tools/equipment, including a separate, plumbed room for potting or storage. There is also a shed with built-in chicken coop. The home is handicap-accessible with a ramp entry (with removal of the pet gate).
