About This Home

As of January 2025

This old house is newly redone from the furnace(zoned heating), A/C, electric, plumbing, refinished hardwood floors, windows, carpet, laundry shoot on the upper level, great room in the open attic, in 2012. Added touches in 2014 includes a ventless gas fireplace in the living area, 25 x 20 deck off the North door, the above ground pool with 12 x 10 deck, black rod fence that frames the Ole' vintage charm of this once well known Historical Home. Eldon Hayhurst's family would never recognize the old home place after all the upgrades. Change is a good thing! Garage added in 1965(new siding) that is 960 square foot with storage area on the upper level. Original horse tie out front. Easy access to major highways is a bonus, I-65 to the east, Rt 41 to the west.
