About This Home

As of October 2024

Charming rustic log home on a 15 acre farmstead. With its open floor plan and exposed wooden beams, it makes for a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The main level includes a master bedroom, while the upper level offers two more bedrooms, a third bathroom, and a spacious loft. The unfurnished basement provides a blank canvas for additional living space or storage. The house features a huge wrap-around porch on three sides overlooking a private wooded area. Front and back porch are 65x10, side porch is 30x10. It also has a detached 3-car garage. The new furnace and lower level AC are great updates, but the home does need some TLC to shine. Close proximity to PAX and Webster Field.
