Keslinger Road runs right in front of the home. The home has a private driveway and a spacious parking area for guests and family members. The walkway to the home is a brick paved sidewalk - the bricks are original bricks from the original Route 38. There is quite a bit of preserved history located on this rural retreat. The front porch is so inviting. One can sit on the porch and enjoy the beautiful views and the quietness country living offers. The extra-large dining room is great for family get-togethers and holiday dinners. There is a "pass-through" window from the dining room to the kitchen for ease in entertaining and clean-up time.

The second level of this home has three bedrooms and a pass-through "playroom" off the 3rd bedroom complete with an elevated bed frame. Kids can have so much fun in this room. The screened-in porch is the perfect spot for outdoor dinners while the kids play on the playset that once belonged to the schoolhouse located on Keslinger Road. There is a spigot for a future sink. There are great views of the countryside from every room in this home! The basement is great for storing items. Outdoors is a 2.5 detached garage. The back end of the garage can be a shop or shed area. The 30x60 outbuilding has three separate areas: Area 1 has a stall if one wants a horse; Area 2 is upstairs and can be a party room with an additional workshop area and the beginnings of a mancave/bar; Area 3 is storage for farm machinery. Bring the animals and kids to this beautiful property. The home was rebuilt in 2004. The foundation is original. Updates include house siding (2021); Windows between 2010-2014 with a transferable warranty from Window World; Roof on the center part of the home and first level (2021).
