Description
Step back in time and discover the charm of this lovingly built 1947 home, nestled on 1.5 private acres and surrounded by peaceful farmland. Built by the original owner's family using timber harvested from the land itself, this home tells a story of craftsmanship, character, and a time when things were simply built to last.From the inviting covered front porch to the screened-in back porch, there are plenty of places to slow down, sip your morning coffee, and take in the quiet country surroundings. Inside, you'll find warm, nostalgic character throughout, including a kitchen that's practically a time capsule, complete with original appliances that still work! They really don't make 'em like they used to. The main level offers two bedrooms, a full bathroom, a living room, a separate den, and a dedicated dining area. Upstairs, the finished attic features two additional rooms and two closets, offering versatile space for guests, hobbies, a home office, or whatever suits your needs. While this space adds wonderful flexibility, it is not included in the home's heated living area due to ceiling height and the absence of a permanent heat source. And if storage is on your wish list, just wait until you see the basement! With an incredible amount of room for storage, projects, a workshop, or all those things you swear you'll need someday, there's no shortage of possibilities. An additional open-air shower adds a surprisingly handy touch after a day of gardening, working outdoors, or enjoying country life. Solidly built, full of personality, and tucked away in a peaceful rural setting, this is the kind of home that reminds you why they say they just don't build them like this anymore.
