Looking for the classic farmhouse full of character and opportunity? THIS IS IT! Set on just over an acre of land, this 4-bedroom, 1-bath home offers 1,341 sq ft of living space with the comfort and charm you expect from an older country property. Enjoy peaceful mornings on the screened-in porch, a perfect spot to relax and take in the quiet surroundings. A brand-new front deck adds a welcoming touch and strong curb appeal as you arrive home. Major updates have already been taken care of, including a new well and significant improvements to the electrical and heating systems, giving you peace of mind on the big-ticket items. The property also features an attached 2-car garage, providing plenty of room for parking, storage, or a workshop setup. The yard has been well cared for, with trees trimmed in spring 2025 to keep the grounds open, safe, and easy to maintain. The land offers plenty of space for gardening, outdoor activities, or future expansion. According to local history, the property is said to have originally been deeded to a Civil War Veteran as partial compensation for his service, adding a unique historical touch to an already special home. With the perfect blend of close to town and the quiet country setting. This property has it all!
