This farmhouse is the perfect place to raise a family. Right on the edge of town, with large, mature trees and established landscaping/hardscaping, you get a country-living feel, with the convenience of small town living. This house has tons of character (wrap around porch, gas fireplace with antique mantle, exposed brick, and beautiful trim). Out back there is a covered spacious deck (made of low maintenance composite wood) and a concrete fire pit.
The house has three bedrooms (plus an office that could be converted to a bedroom) and 2.5 baths. Large living room/dining room is open to the kitchen and spacious entryway, another living space (we use as a toy room), plus a large laundry room/mudroom, spacious full bath and office make up the first floor. Three bedrooms, half bath, and spacious master bath with heated floors, claw foot tub, walk in shower and walk in closet comprise the second story.
Additions were made in 2009 (office) and 2013 (family/dining room) and the remainder of the house has also been remodeled. We added the large, heated shed (48'x32') with two overhead doors in 2016, which is heated and well insulated.
This house is in the New Berlin school district and is conveniently located within walking distance to both the elementary school and jr/sr high school.
