As you enter the home, you will immediately notice the charm and pride the sellers have taken in this 3300 plus square foot farm home. The living room and dining area is light filled showcasing stunning original hardwood flooring, stunning staircase which has been redone, crown molding, chair rails and amazing built in’s. You will absolutely love the appeal of this updated and spacious farm house kitchen.

So spacious and includes a large bedroom, family room, full bath, kitchenette plus an area that can be used as an office or workout room. There are 4 additional bedrooms upstairs plus another full bath. Both bathrooms have been totally re-done from top to bottom this year. New windows throughout the home were installed in 2017. The plumbing and electric have been upgraded in the home. The crawl space has been water proofed and a sump pump was added in 2017. A brand new chimney liner was replaced in 2021. The home has been freshly painted and the original floors have been refinished. There is also new flooring and carpet in the in - law - suite. There are so many upgrades and extras to mention. The exterior boosts many fabulous outbuildings with recent additions throughout the 5.37 acreage.. The pole barn with a run in was just built in September of 2021 making this ideal for someone that had interest in boarding horses. There is plenty of room for 4 stalls plus a tack room plus the area is separately fenced in with new fencing. To the right of the new pole barn there is another acre that can also be fenced in. In addition, in 2020 a Green House was added. Wait until you see the beautiful older out buildings providing tons of storage, work area plus a renovated well house. The septic and drain field was replaced in 2017 and a brand new well, water filter and water softener was installed in 2018.
