What a rare opportunity! For the first time in over 70 years, this meticulously maintained home is available for sale. Nestled on 2.16 acres, this charming home offers a taste of country living while being convenient to town. Outbuildings, carport, garden spot, a well to water your gardens, and enough space to play games or enjoy a campfire on fall evenings. Inside, marvel at the gleaming hardwood floors, fresh interior paint, updated kitchen, newer windows, and a sunroom that brings the outdoors in. Thoughtful built-in storage spots. A partial unfinished basement for storage and shelter during storms. Home is being sold in "as-is" condition. If you have been looking for space, and that remote feeling without being far from the city, this may be the one. Offers will be sent to the seller as they are received and will be reviewed at 5:30 pm on Friday, November 1.
