Step into the timeless charm of this lovingly cared-for and thoughtfully expanded farmhouse, set on nearly 7 acres where history, nature and modern comfort come beautifully together. Three quintessential sitting porches invite you to slow down, take in the surrounding beauty and wildlife, and enjoy everything from morning coffee to evening stargazing. At the heart of the home, the spacious kitchen offers abundant pantry space and overlooks a bright, casual living room with a wood-burning fireplace flanked by built-in bookcases. A covered porch extends the living space outdoors with peaceful views across the property. The formal living room provides a quiet sanctuary and leads into the main-floor primary suite. Upstairs, two bedrooms feature large windows framing the surrounding greenery, along with a full bath and generous landing perfect for a home office or cozy reading nook. The partially finished lower level adds even more possibilities with space for a theater, rec room or hobbies, plus additional pantry storage and a studio room. An attached two-car garage adds everyday convenience. Recent improvements include a new well approximately two years ago, a 2022 roof and re-corded windows. Filled with reminders of generations of cherished memories, this special farmhouse offers the character of yesterday, the comforts of today and nearly 7 acres to make your own.
