Character and craftsmanship you simply can't recreate! This charming 1921 farmhouse was built with materials from the circa-1800s Bowman schoolhouse, and its history shines throughout. The home blends historic character with modern updates, including a beautifully updated kitchen featuring new cabinetry, butcher block countertops, a new backsplash, and a stainless steel refrigerator.
The main level offers 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, including a primary suite with a fireplace and jetted tub. Enjoy beautiful hardwood flooring, distinctive original trim casings, charming barn doors, and three working fireplaces that bring warmth and character to the living spaces. Additional unique details include a genuine black Italian marble hearth in the primary bedroom and original architectural features throughout. Fresh paint adds to the home's inviting appeal.
Two finished attic rooms with sloped ceilings provide flexible bonus space for a home office, hobby room, or additional storage. A full stand-up basement offers additional storage or workshop potential.
Recent improvements include a new roof (2025), heat pump (2024), new water heater, new well pump and bladder tank, and an updated septic system.
Step outside and enjoy the screened porch, mature oak trees, established landscaping, and privacy of the beautiful 0.53-acre lot. Additional features include a carport, ample parking, and a storage building.
