Discover the ideal blend of character, space, and functionality on this beautiful 11 acre property featuring a classic brick farmhouse and multiple outbuildings. Perfectly suited for those seeking privacy, hobby farming, or simply room to breathe, this unique homestead offers a hard-to-find combination of vintage charm and everyday convenience. Step inside to a welcoming main level designed for comfortable living. The primary bedroom is conveniently located on the first floor, along with a living room with a non-functional "decorative" fireplace, a dining area, kitchen, a laundry room, and a full bathroom. The upper level includes two additional bedrooms and a half bath (water has been turned off and needs to be repaired) —ideal for family, guests, or office space. Set on level and slightly slopping land useable land, this property includes a concrete circular driveway, two carports, two storage buildings, and a large covered porch perfect for relaxing and enjoying the surroundings. Water is supplied by a drilled well to the home, and a historic hand-dug well is located in the well house—adding both charm and utility. Additional features include a propane forced-air furnace, concrete circular driveway, and two outbuildings for storage or workshop use. With acreage, solid brick construction, and renovation potential, this property is well suited for a homestead, investment, or restoration project. Whether you’re looking for a rural residence, or simply a retreat with room to grow, this property offers exceptional potential.
