Are you looking for a home to live up to your modern farmhouse dreams? Moved from its original location in approximately 1983, this beautiful farmhouse has retained all of its vintage charm while trading its 1940s basement for a clean 12 course waterproofed basement. Set on a private wooded lot on a no outlet street, you can let the world melt away while you relax on the wide front porch. Step inside and admire the gleaming woodwork in the foyer. Beveled glass French doors open to the living room where you will find large windows, a decorative fireplace and original wood floors. The large dining room connects gracefully to the living room and to the kitchen. With fun checkered flooring, vintage cabinetry, high ceilings and lots of light pouring through the windows, this kitchen is dripping with potential. A half bath is tucked thoughfully next to the kitchen. Back through the foyer and past the stunning batten moulding, the staircase leads us to the second floor. Here a generously sized bathroom serves four large bedrooms. Beautiful (and newer) windows make the back bedrooms feel like they are part of a treehouse. The fourth bedroom at the front of the house has a staircase that leads to the partially finished attic. This flex space would be a really fun playroom or retreat from the rest of the house. The owners have carefully insulated this space and installed a fan to make this a comfortable room ready for your vision. This home is just steps to KSU and all that the thriving city of Kent has to offer, but sits in Franklin Township. This home is in great repair and is being sold as-is. Recent updates include: windows 2017, water heater and well pressure tank 2022, sump pump 2024.
