A true country setting charmer- This 3.5 acre farmette will make you admire the mastery of the 19th century original woodwork with careful touches of modern updates. With plenty of room to host, there are two large living rooms, a formal dining room and a beautifully updated kitchen. Kitchen provides ceiling high cabinets, butcher block island, granite counter tops, pot filler & farm style sink. All rooms down stairs can be closed off by original pocket doors or kept open for an open flow. As you walk upstairs on the originally preserved staircase awaits 5 bedrooms. These 5 bedrooms and their closet space are larger than standard farm houses. If that is not enough room, a walk up attic awaits your finishing touches. Step outside and enjoy a cup of coffee while breathing in the fresh country air on your wrap around porch. Over look your animals and the sunrise to your East and watch the sunset to your west. There are horse and livestock stalls and fenced pasture waiting for your animals. A separate outbuilding is currently a large goat house and chicken coop. Grab those freshly laid eggs and grab some fresh veggies from your raised garden beds. There are 3 apple trees original to the area and a pear tree. There is a third outbuilding used for storage. If you love the outdoors or riding trails then bring your horses a short ride north to the Franklin Creek State Park. The home is just 10 minutes to Dixon, Oregon or Ashton not far from Rochelle.
