This Classic Italianate Farmstead was originally built circa 1886. It was extensively remodeled by current owner in 1979. A summer kitchen was removed and a 28 by 36 two story addition with full basement was added. Care was taken to make sure the exterior remained in the period style. From the outside, the house looks as if it were all built at the same time. New Plumbing, wiring, forced air heating, septic and main floor laundry were included. The basement is dry and unfinished. There is a 7 by 7 foot Sauna in the basement. Plenty of room for a wine cellar in original basement, which stays about 65 degrees year around. There is additional storage in an attic accessible from the second floor. All 5 bedrooms and three full baths are on the second floor. The second floor has a fully lined cedar closet for winter clothing storage. The main floor is of great room design. There are two additional rooms adjunctive to the great room. One is a handcrafted walnut library with oak floors and a built in solid walnut partners desk. There is an exit from the Library unto the front porch on Saint Joe Hwy. The other adjunctive room is an entertainment room with handcrafted cherry cabinetry. Care was taken at the time of remodeling to use plaster, not drywall, on all walls and ceilings consistent with the original structure. The original structure has a 9 by 9 inch foundation plate with the studs mortised into the plate. All windows in the original structure are plumb and new windows of the original design were put in place at the time of the remodel. Finally there is a 12 by 15 foot three season room which was part of the remodeling. The porch and house trim are newly painted. The front porch has a completely new substructure and deck. There is a 32 by 40 foot insulated garage to which is attached a 24 by 54 foot tool shed. The barn is circa the original home. It is a 30 by 50 foot gambrel roof barn with a hay mow capable of holding 1500 hay bales. That structure was stabilized from wracking in 1970. It is newly painted. This is a must see small farmstead, with plenty of room for kids, animals and garden. NOTE: The Zestimate is misleading. This is because a portion of the 26 acre listing was sold in fall of 2019: 22 & 1/2 acres, vacant land. The remaining 3 & 1/2 acres with all buildings is the current for sale by owner. The Zestimate has picked up the sale price for the vacant land. Recent Township assessment has pegged the value of the remaining 3 & 1/2 acres with buildings at $344,600.00 That is why we believe the asking price is in the ballpark
