Property Description
Looking for space, character, and a little room to breathe? This thoughtfully updated 4-5 bedroom farmhouse sits on approximately 4 acres, blending the warmth and character of an older home with the space and functionality buyers want today. A large addition created a spacious kitchen and family room that truly become the heart of the home. The kitchen features a gorgeous stone backsplash, plenty of room to gather, and a walk-in pantry, while the family room offers space to spread out and a thermostat-controlled propane fireplace for cozy, convenient warmth. A generously sized coat closet just inside the entrance adds the kind of everyday storage you'll appreciate from day one. Gorgeous wood floors and original farmhouse character carry throughout the home, with a pellet stove providing an additional heat source. The first floor also includes a dedicated dining room, half bath with laundry, and a flexible room that can serve as a fifth bedroom, home office, playroom, or den. Upstairs you'll find four bedrooms and a full bath, plus additional finished attic space offering even more possibilities. Outside, a huge fenced yard provides fantastic space for pets, play, entertaining, or gardening, with approximately 4 acres to enjoy. A barn and chicken coop add even more versatility for animals, hobbies, storage, or your own small homestead. The approximately 10-year-old metal roof is another major plus, and the leased solar array is ground-mounted rather than installed on the roof, helping keep electric costs low while leaving the metal roof unobstructed. Thoughtfully updated without losing the character that makes a farmhouse special, this property offers an uncommon combination of acreage, space, storage, outbuildings, and everyday functionality. Come see everything it has to offer.
