Discover timeless charm in this exquisite 2-story 1900’s farmhouse with modern touches, set on 8.23 acres. This country dream home offers panoramic views of rolling land, mature trees, barns, shops, and more, creating the ultimate place to call home. Inside, you’ll find a well-designed 3-bedroom, 2-bath layout filled with character. Arched doorways, beamed ceilings, and inviting porches. The open kitchen is a chef’s delight with granite counters, abundant cabinetry, a pantry, and all appliances included. The living room features a stone-surround gas fireplace with mantle. The main level also includes a spacious family room with side bonus space that could serve as an office area, extra entertainment, or child’s toy room. The mudroom leads directly to a convenient laundry room with a soaking sink along with a full bathroom. Also off the mudroom is a 1-car attached garage and a 20 x 14 sun porch with access to the backyard. Upstairs, you’ll find 3 comfortable bedrooms, a bonus room, and an updated full bathroom. The outdoor space is equally impressive with 8 steel utility buildings/shops, a corncrib, carport, grain bin, 4.5+ acres of fenced pasture, mature blackberry bed, fruit orchard, and ample space for gardening.
