This unique property offers the perfect blend of history, space, and equestrian amenities. The 2960 sq ft home features a layout full of character, with part of the original structure dating back to 1922 and later expanded in the 1970s-80s. The main level includes a spacious living room, dining room, kitchen with a cozy woodstove, breakfast room, mud room, laundry room, and an oversized primary bedroom with en-suite and walk in closet. Upstairs you'll find three additional bedrooms and a full bath, offering plenty of space for family, guests, or home offices. A 780 sq ft unfinished basement includes a 1/2 bath and provides additional storage or future expansion potential. Outside, the property is well suited for horse lovers with fencing and cross-fencing, a paddock, and two barns. The main barn features 9 stalls for horses, making this an excellent setup for personal use or small-scale equestrian operations. The property is also served by two wells. The home does need some updating and repairs, and the price reflects the opportunity to restore and customize this special property to your vision.
