Homestead for sale! Only once in a great while does a property like this come on the market. This all-brick home on 7.5 acres was built in 1946. It is just 8 miles north of Springfield with just one, four-way stop on the way. The home has a wonderful flow, with both open and defined spaces. The large family room off the kitchen has a fireplace with insert for cozy family gatherings. You'll find another fireplace in the formal living room which opens up to the formal dining area. The kitchen has two counter spaces with chairs for on-the-go meals. Whether you host extended family or friends there's plenty of space for all. There are two bedrooms and two full baths on the main level and a large bedroom upstairs. The basement is unfinished and waiting for your ideas. There is also a designated chimney for a wood stove in basement for added warmth. Soak up the panoramic view while working out in the sunroom or read the hours away on whatever cozy furniture you'd like to add. The list of updates is long! New granite was installed in the kitchen in 2013. A propane tank was purchased and a line run to the kitchen for the gas stove and oven the same year. Newer flooring in the pantry and sunroom and brand new carpet on the stairs. One bath was updated and the other completely remodeled in 2017. Old veneer doors and thin skirting were replaced with solid wood doors and classic trim. All buildings got new roofs in 2019. New windows were installed in 2021. The water is softened by a North Star water softener and heated by the newly-installed, Bradford White water heater! The property has many established blackberry, red raspberry and elderberry bushes, two cherry trees, two Asian pear trees and one peach tree. Two young apple trees were planted within the last five years and there are plenty of walnuts to gather or sell! Large patches of asparagus and garlic boarder an expansive vegetable garden waiting for seedlings. There are two barns on the property ready to be put to use. One barn houses a large chicken coop looking for new occupants. About four acres of pasture is fenced for whatever animals you want roaming and grazing on the rolling hills.
