This historic home sits on approximately 5 acres and includes features believed to have historical significance, with local history indicating possible ties to the Underground Railroad (not documented). The home offers a functional 2-bedroom, 1-bath layout. One of the bedrooms has been opened for current use but could be converted back into a separate second bedroom with private access through the existing hallway closet area. The attic is a full stand-up space that provides potential for future finishing, such as additional living area. Laundry is located on the second level, and the bathroom offers ample space.
Outdoor features include a composite wrap-around porch, a large screened-in porch, and an outdoor kitchen area suitable for canning or similar uses. A full basement provides additional storage options. An extra storage area is located off the back porch.
The property includes a barn, greenhouse, multiple outbuildings, fenced pastures, and a chicken coop. Several fruit trees—including apple, peach, and pear—along with blackberry bushes, grape vines and a large area for a garden provide opportunities for fresh produce. The property also has public water and two wells.
Property is being sold as-is.
