Surrounded by majestic evergreens, the current owner had property surveyed for 3 one acre parcel subdivision. Hard to see now, but there are endless tiger lilies, daffodils and a magnificent magnolia tree. Celebrate the updated kitchen features shaker style white cabinetry, double sink with window overlooking the flower beds and treed yard, tile backsplash, hardwood flooring and new appliances. Servants staircase gives dual access to the second floor sleeping areas. The first floor bathroom boasts a 1300 watt ceiling heater lamp, full wall tiled double glass doored shower and custom tiled floor. Hardwood flooring expands throughout the home. The living room boasts built in bookshelves and feature cases surrounding the brick encased wood stove. A like new gas furnace warms the home but there are two wood cast iron stoves to add additional warmth or enjoy cost effective heat in the winter. Ceiling fans, window units and open breezes with continuous shade from the surrounding trees provide fresh air and cooling temperatures throughout the summer. There's a permanent perfect view of every sunset from your front porch. The side enclosed screen porch provides an equally enjoyable view of the surrounding land. The chicken farm has not been functional and was disinfected over 20 years ago. The farmland across the street cannot be further subdivided so your view will never change. Surrounding residences all have updated homes, plenty of acreage?. fabulous investment with lots of potential to create future value and enjoy peaceful living!
