Over 1800 heated square feet, three bedroom two and a half bath brick home with a wide front porch spanning the entire length of the home. Recent roof, hot water heater and inside a/c unit, this home just needs your updating to make this a beloved homeplace for your family. Mostly cleared acreage, some wooded spaces throughout, and a potential pond site where one was once maintained. There is an old well on the property, not for the home, but for gardening as some of the property previously served as a nursery. Vinyl and laminate flooring, two fireplaces in two potential living areas, fresh paint in most of the home. The enclosed sun porch is a nice supplement to your space. Barn and fencing on the property as well! Come out and walk this beautiful land and imagine the possibilities.
