Realtor Comments
Charming Tudor-style home offers timeless character and endless potential. Many original hardwood floors remain throughout the home, adding charm and character. Major updates include a furnace and central air system installed in 2017, a water heater replaced in 2020, along with some updated windows and plumbing improvements. The spacious kitchen comes fully applianced and features a center island, providing ample workspace and gathering space for family and friends. Outside, you’ll find a detached 4-car garage with a concrete floor and electricity, offering abundant storage, workshop space, or room for vehicles and equipment. Much of the hard work has already been started, and this property is ready for its next owner to complete the vision. With its desirable acreage, solid construction, and numerous updates, this is a rare opportunity to put the finishing touches on a true gem and place the crown on this jewel.
