Welcome to peace and tranquility on this farmstead featuring a 40s carpenter built 3 bed 1 bath with a spacious living room, eat in kitchen, and a bright open sunroom. The basement is dry with a nicely finished epoxy floor waiting for someone to finish this space to their dreams. True to craftsman-built homes, the floor joists are 12" on center and are topped off with original and nicely kept oak flooring. Thick plaster walls and ceilings complete the feeling of a solid house. For additional storage there is a full attic. The 3 acres and outbuildings invite you to fulfill your dreams as to what you could all do on this land. There is room for gardening, orchards, livestock, sports fields, and any outdoor activity. A great place for a family or gathering space for friends and relatives. There are many trees, shrubs, and perennial plants for you to enjoy. Outbuildings include a livestock barn with large hayloft, detached 2 car garage, split storage shed, privy, and a machine shed (under repair). We welcome you to pause and experience the serenity of country living in this grove of mature trees. Sold as is.
