About This Home

As of November 2018

This beautiful 3 bedroom 2 bath field stone farm style home is situated on 5 acres which is mostly fenced in for horses. The home was remodeled in 2006 and is cozy and well maintained. Newer windows and shingles, maintenance free decking, large trees and apple trees are just a few of the things that add to the attractiveness of this property. There are 2 barns, one with 3 stalls and room for a 4th. Both buildings have loft areas for extra storage and there is plenty of room for autos and equipment. The property has a small creek across the corner which adds to the beautiful rural setting. Not far from town and shopping. This is most certainly a "MUST SEE".
