About This Home

As of May 2025

This charming 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath farmhouse sits on just over an acre, offering plenty of space to stretch your legs, grow a garden, or simply bask in the fresh country air. The classic blue exterior is giving major storybook vibes - you know, the kind where the quirky family moves in and makes it their own. Inside, you'll find updated bathrooms (because even old homes need a little pampering) and a surprisingly spacious layout, ready for your personal touch. The kitchen? Well, let's just say it has "potential" written all over it, and with some elbow grease, this space could be the heart of the home it deserves to be. The living areas feature unique woodwork and vintage charm, perfect for anyone who loves a home with character. Hardwood floors peek through, waiting to be restored to their former glory. The bedrooms are bright and spacious, and that upstairs nook could easily be transformed into a dreamy reading spot. There's also a covered porch area, currently doing its best as storage central, but it's got great potential for outdoor lounging. Here's the deal: This home is priced to sell and ready for someone with vision. If you're looking for a fast project with endless potential, you've just hit the jackpot. No same-day showings - appointment required. Home will be left uncleaned and may have some remaining items, but it's priced accordingly. Buyer should be flexible on closing dates. Sold as-is; seller has no condition info, so do your due dilige
