Step back in time with this 1912 two-story farmhouse, brimming with potential and nestled amidst picturesque mountain views. This home offers a unique opportunity for those looking to restore a classic. The main floor features a cozy 1-bedroom, 1-bath layout with a spacious kitchen, dining room, breakfast room, and living room—all with existing heat. Upstairs, you'll find three additional rooms and a half bath, though heat is not yet installed on this level.
The property also boasts a delightful wrap-around porch, perfect for enjoying the stunning mountain vistas from both the front and back of the home. A 915-square-foot detached workshop provides ample space for projects or storage.
Please note, this property is being sold "as-is" due to the need for repairs. It's ideal for cash buyers ready to invest in bringing this historic gem back to life.
