Set on 4 beautiful acres, the land is largely flat and usable with excellent road frontage—providing opportunity for expansion, additional structures, or simply enjoying the space. The home showcases timeless character with thoughtful updates throughout, highlighted by a dreamy wraparound front porch that invites you to slow down and stay awhile. The fenced yard offers both function and charm, complete with a custom-built playhouse. Additional features include an oversized 2-car garage and a separate outbuilding equipped with electric and A/C—perfect for a workshop, studio, or she-shed. Laundry options include a stackable setup in the front bedroom or a secondary location in the basement just past the kitchenette. With 4 spacious bedrooms already in place, the home also offers room to grow. Building plans for a home addition have been drafted and can be made available during negotiations, providing a seamless path for future expansion. For those seeking even more opportunity, the seller also owns the 0.4-acre lot directly across the street, complete with a lagoon, electric on-site, and finished plans for a two-story home. Lot and plans available for purchase separately or as part of a package opportunity. A rare opportunity to own a classic property with land, character, and exceptional potential.
