This charming farmhouse has belonged to the same family since 1939 and is ready to welcome its next chapter. Set on a beautifully landscaped acre, the grounds burst into bloom each spring with French, English, and Persian lilacs, honeysuckle, chives, and both tiger and day lilies. Summer brings wild raspberries, marigolds, and asparagus, while fall lights up with the brilliant color of mature sugar maples.
Inside, a warm and functional layout awaits. The first floor features a spacious eat-in kitchen with a designated spot for a heat stove, a comfortable living room, a full bathroom, two bedrooms, and a versatile sitting room. A garage entrance off the kitchen makes parking and winter plow storage a breeze -- and the space currently doubles as a cozy home for chickens, with convenient backyard access through a dedicated barn door for anyone looking to keep the tradition going.
Upstairs, you'll find three additional bedrooms -- two with walk-in closets -- plus a generous open space just waiting for your vision, whether that's a family room, home gym, art studio, or yoga retreat. A large front porch and mudroom add even more everyday functionality, with room for a chest freezer and a practical spot to shed muddy boots, bookbags, and jackets.
This is more than a house -- it's a legacy property ready for new memories. Schedule your showing today!
