About This Home

As of August 2025

2.6 acres in town with R2 Zoning! Conveniently located with 2 houses, large garage, and large storage shed/shop! This property has it all with room to expand. Main home is 1692 sqft with huge Living/Great room, 3 bedrooms, large eat-in kitchen and a dining room. Large fireplace with wood stove insert keeps the house toasty. Lots of storage with hand crafted wood slide by doors. With charming old world craftsmanship and lots of wood throughout, it just feels like home. The guest house is 836 sqft with large living room, kitchen and master suite. There is another house that is currently used as storage/workshop that is 992 sqft with an additional 848 sqft of storage attached. And to top it all off, there is a large 3 car garage that is approx 1200 sqft. All of the buildings have metal roofs. The property started life as a dairy farm but the possibilities are endless. The property would make a great Air BnB or a multi unit rental (property is zoned R2 Multi Family). Call for a showing.
