A Rare Gem in the Heart of Town! Truly a needle in a haystack, this one-of-a-kind farmhouse is nestled on a massive lot comprised of 3 separate parcels right in the middle of town. Originally built in 1895, this home was lifted onto a new poured foundation in 1995 & remodeled in 1999, preserving its historic character while updating it for today’s lifestyle. Step onto the classic wraparound covered porch & into a home filled w/ warmth & personality. Inside, you’ll find hardwood floors, a generous living room accented by a tray ceiling & crown molding and a spacious formal dining room w/ custom built-ins. The beautifully updated kitchen features quartz counter tops, tile backsplash, farmhouse sink & SS appliances. Off the kitchen and garage is a convenient home office & a ½ bath completing the main floor. Upstairs, the primary suite features a walk-in closet & a 3/4 bath, accompanied by 2 additional bedrooms, a full bathroom and a laundry room. The lower level features a polished concrete floor, additional living space, a 4th bedroom, ¾ bath & plenty of storage. Outside, you’ll appreciate the 2-car attached garage w/ epoxy flooring as well as the immaculate 4+ car detached tandem garage. The partially fenced backyard provides a private oasis, and the fresh exterior paint (2021) adds to the curb appeal. This is a true farmhouse in the city, combining timeless design with rare in-town space. Homes like this are nearly impossible to find - don’t miss your chance to make it yours.
