As of July 2019Circa 1880 this charming farmhouse offers many possibilities for it's new owners. Large eat in country style kitchen, formal dining room with fireplace and a large living room. One of the original homes in Townsend, this home has tons of history. Small building behind the house is believed to be a meat house. Barn is attached to the rear of the home was physical moved from the grain company across the street, this barn would be ideal for a wood shop or someone needing space, there is a lot of detail in the home. Check out the original door hardware, the amber transett over the front door or the hand pumped well on the side of the house. If you want unique this may be the home for you. House needs TLC.
