If you've been searching for a rural property with character, space, and upside-this farmette is ready for your vision. Situated on 2.84 acres in a highly desirable school district with convenient access to the interstate, this 1.5-story farmhouse offers a rare blend of location and opportunity. The home has been well maintained over the years, with a recently painted interior providing a clean starting point for your updates. The main level features a spacious mudroom equipped with laundry hookups, utility sink, furnace, water heater, and iron curtain system-ideal for country living. Inside, you'll find a generously sized kitchen with room for a formal dining table, a comfortable living room, an additional family room, and a large walk-in pantry. A main-floor bedroom and half bath add convenience and flexibility. Upstairs includes three bedrooms along with a full bathroom featuring a dedicated dressing room-offering space that's hard to find in similar properties. Outside, the property truly shines for those needing functional buildings. While older, the outbuildings remain usable and include a large barn, steel machine shed, corn crib, and a shed with lean-to. All structures are equipped with concrete flooring and electric service, making them suitable for hobby farming, storage, or workshop use. Adding even more charm and value, the acreage features apple and pear trees, offering seasonal harvests. This property will require work, but for the right buyer, it presents an excellent opportunity to build equity and create a customized rural retreat in a sought-after location. Bring your ideas and make this farmette your own because properties like this don't come around often.
