An Affordable Country Escape with Barn, Pond, 2+/- Acres
Affordable 2+ acre homestead features a warm and comfortable 3-4 bedroom, 2 bath updated farmhouse, nicely stocked pond, barn, and outbuilding. This architecturally significant homestead is one of the few remaining hemlock stacked plank construction homes in the country. It has been well-maintained and easily blends old-fashioned craftsmanship with many modern-day conveniences. Original features include wide plank wood floors, several exposed stacked plank walls, a rocking chair, wrap-around covered porch. Modern conveniences include high-speed internet, a large attractive eat-in kitchen, updated appliances, and newer utility services including heat and electrical wiring. Additional upgrades include vinyl siding, a metal roof, newer replacement windows, and a supplemental propane fireplace. The home may accommodate main-floor living with an adaptable floor plan and full bath with a walk-in shower. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a second full bath with a deep claw-foot soaking tub. This home has ample storage with a large mudroom/pantry, bonus room, closets, and built-ins. There is plenty of room to roam on this uniquely shaped, mostly level 2+ acre parcel with a fenced-in raised garden bed, two varieties of apple trees, a pear tree, loads of raspberry bushes, and more. The pond is stocked with a wide variety of fish (including largemouth bass, bullhead, catfish, blue gill, sunnies, lots of frogs, turtles, and the occasional pair of ducks!) Steps from the house is a small shed with electricity that could easily be converted to a workshop, music or art studio, or even a canning kitchen! There's a large barn, currently used as a workshop, with electricity, a concrete floor, and a salamander heater (included in the sale). Attached to the barn is an overhang for storage. Both outbuildings have durable metal roofs. The artesian well located on the property is just another sparkling feature that confirms this inviting homestead could easily sustain the dream of self-sufficiency. Outstanding value for the price! Don't delay in scheduling your private showing!
