Situated on approximately 2.5 acres to be divided from the original family farmland, the 7-bedroom, 1-bathroom farmhouse is filled with charm and potential. Much of the home remains in its original condition, showcasing hardwood floors hidden beneath the carpet on the main level, a kitchen with classic metal Geneva cabinets, and a main-floor bedroom with an adjoining room that could easily be transformed into a spacious primary suite with private bath. The home also features two staircases, adding to its farmhouse character and functional layout. With a newer roof, updated windows, a modern septic system, and a recently tested and approved well, many of the big updates have already been taken care of. The property also boasts an impressive collection of original outbuildings that speak to its rich agricultural past. Highlights include a 40' x 56' barn dating back to 1878, a 30' x 52' corn crib, a 20' x 28' hog house, a 20' x 48' tool shed, a 9' x 15' cob house, and a finished, insulated 23' x 31' garage with 2.5-car capacity and heat potential.
