About this home
Bring your vision and discover the possibilities of this farmhouse style home on approximately 3 acres, surrounded by cornfields and trees. The land is subdivided into two parcels of 1.08 and 1.93 acres, adding flexibility and potential to this peaceful country setting. With two bedrooms, one bath, a very large detached garage, and multiple outbuildings, this property offers an enticing opportunity for buyers ready to renovate and create a country retreat of their own. Recent improvements include a new roof, new gutters, and seven new windows, all completed in 2026.
A cozy sunroom welcomes you at the front entrance, offering potential as a cheerful sitting area or practical mudroom. Inside, the country kitchen has room for a table and chairs and features warm wood cabinetry, a stainless steel refrigerator, pantry storage, and a new stove installed in 2026. A separate dining room provides space for gathering.
Faux ceiling beams and a brick wood burning fireplace lend warmth and character to the living room. The chimney has been rebuilt and the flue replaced, preserving a distinctive feature of the home. Just off the kitchen, the laundry room includes a new washer and dryer installed in 2025 and provides access to the rear patio. A new hot water heater was also installed in 2024.
Upstairs, a generous landing offers a flexible spot for a home office or reading nook and connects two bedrooms and a full bathroom. The main bedroom also enjoys direct access to the bathroom.
The possibilities extend well beyond the house. A detached screened porch, once a favorite spot for picking crabs, features its own brick wood burning fireplace and awaits a new chapter as a rustic gathering space, hobby retreat, or cozy backyard escape. The expansive detached garage and several storage buildings offer room for tools, equipment, projects, and more, while the surrounding acreage provides space to garden, relax, and explore your outdoor vision.
A new septic system was installed in 2018 and last pumped in 2024. For those with imagination and a willingness to renovate, this property brings together farmhouse character, generous land, valuable recent improvements, and abundant space to create something special....
