A newer metal roof adds to the long-term value. Inside, you'll find warm wood floors in the living room, a dining room with newer windows that bring in great natural light, a cozy office or hobby space just off the kitchen and a charming bedroom full of personality. Nestled back among mature trees, the property feels private and peaceful. The large covered porch offers a perfect shaded spot to relax and enjoy the setting. The spacious yard features apple trees, room for gardens, and plenty of space for chickens or ducks. A detached carport provides covered off-street parking. There is also a small basement for additional storage or utility space. This property offers great potential, country charm and many of the big-ticket improvements already completed.
