Step back in time without sacrificing modern comfort on this extraordinary 31-acre estate. Rich in history and charm, this four-bedroom, three full bath home, built in the mid 1800s, features original millwork, front and back staircases, 9-foot ceilings, pocket doors, and beautiful original shard wood floors throughout much of the home. The living room showcases a wood-burning fireplace, while the dining area offers a cozy wood-burning stove. A separate sitting room adds flexible living space, and the spacious kitchen includes a ceramic gas stove, stainless steel appliances, and center island. Major updates provide peace of mind with a new septic system (2020), roof (2019), and HVAC (2015). Outdoors, the possibilities are endless. Approximately 5 1/2 acres of fenced pasture and a stunning 4 acre stocked lake filled with bluegill, crappie, catfish, and bass create the ultimate recreational setting. With ample road frontage and multiple building sites, the property offers excellent potential for future division. Outbuildings abound, including a 36x50 barn with three stalls, brand-new 11x19 tack room, concrete floor, and electric. A 28x60 machine shed with concrete floor, and electric provides outstanding storage. Additional features include a 26x28 detached garage, greenhouse, chicken coop, duck coop, and a working windmill that pumps water from the well to the paddock. The barn and home both have city water. The land is as beautiful as it is functional, featuring a fenced front yard with original ornamental iron fencing, peach tree, four apple trees, and thornless blackberry bushes. This one-of-a-kind property offers historic elegance, modern updates, and a breathtaking rural setting, all in one remarkable opportunity!
