This is the perfect property for a homesteader, car enthusiast, animal/nature lover, business owner needing storage or just anyone looking for their own little kingdom of peace! The main house was built in 1875 and retains much of that era's charm. Featuring true country-living curb appeal with a gorgeous professionally landscaped yard, large circular driveway and welcoming screened porch. Inside, you will find a formal living & dining rooms, family room/sunroom, updated kitchen, main level master bedroom, and 3 additional bedrooms on the 2nd level. Step into the formal dining room through the glass French doors and it's easy to imagine a long history of large family gatherings. Hardwoods and chair-rail in the dining room; built-ins with picturesque bay window and decorative fireplace in the living room with crown molding in both, plus access to the original foyer, all hint at the nostalgia of yesteryear. The kitchen was remodeled in 2014 and is accented with an attractively unique quartz countertop. There is ample cabinet storage plus a closet pantry. Appliances are Stainless Steel including a newer stove (2024) and refrigerator (2023). The family room also serves as a four-season sunroom. It has mesmerizing backyard views, direct patio access and a brick accent wall. The first-floor master bedroom suite lies just off of the den/office completing the main level. It has an updated bathroom with walk-in shower, two closets and great natural lighting. Upstairs, you will find 3 additional bedrooms, built-in storage and a large full bathroom with more storage and dual sinks. Note: Bedroom 4 is currently used as an artist's studio, as it features abundant natural light with an inspirational walkout to the roof overlooking the grounds. Many rooms have hardwood flooring with the 2nd floor bedrooms boasting the sought-after vintage farm style plank. Other rooms with carpeting. Back on the main level, the laundry room, with utility sink, closet and cabinet storage, is adjacent to the mud room. This space is very functional with separate access to both the attached garage and large covered patio (in addition to the separate 25'x22' East facing private patio). The main attached garage is enough for at least 3 cars with three garage doors (two access the front of the property and one the rear.) The slab is piped for radiant heating with the relevant mechanicals in the storage room under the stairs (setup conveys AS-IS; Seller never used and has no knowledge of condition). As an additional feature, there is a massive 34'x25' walkup unfinished attic space adding tons of potential. In addition to the immense beauty of the natural grounds, the property has 3 outbuildings: 1) Detached garage 39'x21' (enough for at least 2.5 cars), front & rear facing garage doors, two Dutch barn doors, spacious overhead loft, electric and water. 2) Shed 20'x18' with concrete slab. 3) Main Barn built in 2007 with metal exterior and roof - enormous at 56'x32' with 19' interior ceiling, electric, water, two large barn doors on either end, four Dutch doors and one regular exterior door.
