BACK ON MARKET - NO FAULT OF SELLERS & PRICED BELOW APPRAISED VALUE!!! Every house tells a story and the story of this quaint farmhouse is worth retelling. Built post-Depression, this circa 1938 "minimal traditional" style home was practical, compact & no-nonsense. Vegetable gardens surrounded the home w/various farm animals kept on the back of the property. The kitchen bustled with activity and was the family's gathering place every Sunday for dinner. As time moved on, the property transferred to family members & become a rental property. Fast forward to a FSBO sign in the yard and we knew we had to buy it. Our goal - transform this adorable home situated on 2.75 acres of level, unrestricted land into a property that could once again be the beloved home for a small homestead, hobby farm, or just folks looking for a little elbow room. The kitchen is totally updated w/flat panel white cabinets, stainless appliances, quartz counters, & subway tile backsplash. Mudroom laundry enclosed w/new windows & electric wall heater to add heated living area. Hexagon tile flooring in both baths w/updated vanities. Current light fixtures, brand new HVAC & new drainfield for 3 bedroom septic. Original hardwood floors refinished w/Duravana hybrid resilient flooring elsewhere. Roof is like new & 10x12 outbuilding w/6' door just delivered! This home is spacious and MOVE-IN READY plus potential opportunity to subdivide for an adjacent building lot. NOTE: Agent is owner & one bedroom does not have a closet.
