Partially fenced pasture could easily be made ready for your mini-farm. Almost 1000 SF of decks & porches offer ideal spots to relax and soak in the quiet surroundings. Inside, you’ll find a spacious kitchen, an oversized DR built for gatherings, 3BRs, 2.5 baths, and a cozy LR with a wood-burning stove all on one level. Fixed walk-up stairs lead to a large attic with incredible storage potential, and the cellar provides add’l storage as well. All appliances including W/D will convey. This property is a rare blend of character, privacy, and space!
