There is a saying that ''those who love an old house, never love in vain.'' This statement is definitely true for this house, as it has been well loved by families for decades! Before becoming a home, it was actually a school house for several years! This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home, built in 1898, has all the ''old house'' beauty & charm, as well as great design details. The home sits on a large corner lot with beautiful shade trees. There is plenty of yard space for outdoor fun. As you enter the home from the welcoming front porch, you will see original hardwood heart pine floors throughout.
The spacious family room, with a fireplace and new gas logs, is perfect for family gatherings. The formal dining room and breakfast room also provide great spaces for entertaining. The kitchen has original cabinets and wooden countertops that were made from the county's old bowling alley lanes. The 2 bathrooms have been updated, but the ''old house'' charm has been maintained by keeping an original cast iron claw foot bathtub. The screened porch looks out to the spacious backyard where there is a large building that can be used to your liking... a workshop, office, art studio, extra storage... you name it! Even the building has a cool history, as it was once an old country store that was relocated to the lot years ago. Additionally, as of 2021, the home has new plumbing and wiring throughout, as well as a new roof, heat pump, tankless water heater, stove, dishwasher, and gas logs. This house is waiting for you to call it home! Give us a call today to take a look at this special property!
