Rich in character and history, this charming home seamlessly blends original architectural details with thoughtful updates made by owners.

The bank barn is structurally sound and full of potential, ready for restoration or repurposing. The home is serviced by a sand mound septic system—modern and reliable—offering peace of mind and practicality. Whether you're drawn to the timeless charm, the serene setting, or the tasteful improvements throughout, this one-of-a-kind property offers the best of both old and new.
