Property Description
Perched high above the countryside with breathtaking panoramic views that stretch for miles, this one-of-a-kind 10.81-acre farmstead perfectly blends timeless character with modern updates and country charm. Originally built in 1853 and thoughtfully expanded in 1976 to nearly double its original size, complete remodel within the last year, this home offers space, warmth, and incredible attention to detail. The main floor features a cozy master suite with a completely remodeled bathroom and a stunning living room with brick and rustic wood accents centered around a fireplace - perfect for chilly evenings. The spacious, completely new kitchen with granite countertops flows into a large eat-in area, while the formal dining room showcases original built-in cabinets and a cast iron fireplace that add to the home's historic beauty. Additional highlights include a library/office, a music or bonus room with its own fireplace, a sunny playroom or sunroom, and a walk-out deck ideal for relaxing and soaking in the serene surroundings. Upstairs, you'll find a charming loft complete with a wet bar - perfect for entertaining or unwinding. The home also features new flooring in the kitchen and game room, and all wood floors throughout have been beautifully refinished. Comfort comes easy with two brand-new A/C units, one brand-new furnace, and another furnace that's just 3-4 years old. Outside, approximately 10 acres are tillable, offering plenty of opportunities for hobby farming or rental income - plus, there's additional windmill income. The patio out back is made for gatherings, offering the perfect setting for evenings. With an abundance of windows filling the home with natural light, every corner feels bright and inviting. This property is truly a showpiece - unique, spacious, and full of character. Country living doesn't get better than this.
