Zillow Comments

This vibrant Victorian cottage has the character and charm people dream of, in a quiet country setting that’s difficult to find these days. .75 acre yard has lovely, low-maintenance landscaping. Separate building in backyard could be used as an office or workshop. Sprawling porches allow you to take in the forest & farm views all around. The crisp white interior of the 3 bed 2 bath house is just waiting for some love to make it your own (one bedroom is a pass-through & could be a bedroom/office combo or huge Primary Suite). Living room includes wood-burning fireplace & leads to the dining room and quaint kitchen with its lovely cabinetry w/walk-in pantry. Metal roof is less than 10 years old; AC roughly 2 years old. Brand new on-site sewer system. With some TLC, you can live your authentic Cajun Country dream here!
