Updated farmhouse situated on a 10-acre site, offering a unique blend of country character and modern improvements. The home was moved to the property approximately 40 years ago, when a new concrete basement was poured. Recent updates include replacement windows, vinyl siding, updated electrical and plumbing, new insulation, a new furnace and central air, new flooring, and a new deck. The main floor features a bedroom, a large walk-in pantry, and a updated full bathroom. The second floor offers four additional bedrooms with baseboard heat, providing plenty of space for guests or a home office. The basement is ready for future finishing and includes a newly added full bathroom, offering excellent potential for additional living space. The seller is currently working on acquiring approximately 4.9 acres of abandoned railroad right-of-way, which could provide an opportunity to expand the property. This unique acreage offers plenty of space, privacy, and potential while being conveniently located for country living.
