Property Description
Historic 1916 Ridge-Top Farmhouse & Guest Cottage – A Restoration Dream! Embrace the charm of a classic 1916 farmhouse tucked away in a serene, private forest setting. Perched on a sunny, south-facing ridge this property offers the tranquil seclusion of country living on a perfectly manageable footprint. Enjoy plenty of room to garden beneath established pear trees and excellent solar potential without the overwhelming upkeep of a massive acreage. This 1,700 sq. ft., 3-bedroom home is a diamond in the rough with incredible historic bones. Step inside to find original character at every turn, from classic beadboard walls to softwood floors bearing their original sawblade marks. The main house features a spacious family room, a cozy living room, a formal dining area, and a full bath complete with a classic clawfoot tub. Much of the heavy lifting has already been done: the home was extensively updated 30 years ago with modernized plumbing, electrical, and a high-yield deep well (425 ft / 10 GPM). The trouble-free septic system has been recently inspected, pumped, and comes with a clean bill of health. Bonus Living Space: The property also features a quaint guest cottage tucked privately into the trees. Complete with its own kitchen (featuring a 24” gas stove), a full bath with a second clawfoot tub, a wood stove, propane heat, and washer/dryer, it offers fantastic potential as an in-law suite, artist studio, or future rental income. The Opportunity: This property is the perfect canvas for a buyer ready to restore a historic beauty. Both the main house and the cottage are ready for their next chapter, requiring exterior updates including siding, insulation, and eventual roof replacement. To make this seamless, professional estimates are already on file, providing complete transparency so you know exactly what to expect. Better yet, this property would qualify for a Fannie Mae Homestyle Renovation Loan, USDA or VA Renovation Loans or the FHA 203(k) Renovation Loan, allowing you to finance the purchase and the exterior upgrades all at once with as little as 3.5% down. Bring your vision and complete the restoration of this historic ridge-top retreat. Is it time for you to take the reins?
