This pristine farmstead has a beautifully remodeled and updated farmhouse, livestock barn with concrete outdoor pad, pole barn with heated workshop and indoor cattle room, detached garage, antique corn crib, and acres of fenced pasture with livestock sheds. The home was built in 1919 and features two stories. Under the current ownership the home underwent a 7 year remodel making this a dream modern farmhouse. The home features 5 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and over 2500 square feet of living space. On the main floor the home has a large master bedroom with a large bathroom, large living room, formal dining room, open modern kitchen, a half bath, and main level laundry room. On the second floor the home has 4 bedrooms, full bath, and a 200+ square foot outdoor porch area. There is an unfinished cellar style partial basement. To enjoy those beautiful summer nights is a 900+ square foot terrace on the roof. Throughout the home are the beautiful oak hardwood floors and original woodworking. For additional outdoor enjoyment is a wrap-around porch on the front of the home and then in the backyard is a beautifully landscaped outdoor seating area and old milk house for outdoor storage. The barns on this farm are ready for you to bring your livestock and move right on in. The newest barn on the property is a 42' x 62' wood pole barn that has a finished and heated shop area, gravel floor storage area, indoor livestock cooler room, and a lean-to for additional outdoor storage.
