House + Apartment!! Discover the perfect blend of country charm and modern convenience with this beautifully updated turn-of-the-century farmhouse and bonus apartment on 25 acres! The main home offers 1,430 SF of comfortable living space showcasing gorgeous refinished hardwood floors and tasteful updates throughout. The kitchen has been remodeled with oak cabinetry adorned with quartz countertops and stone tile backsplash. In addition to the kitchen remodel, the spacious bathroom has been updated as well. Two bedrooms are situated off the large living room, which adjoins a cozy den clad with solid knotty pine paneling. A mudroom and laundry area is conveniently located right inside the back door. The home features new central H&A, ensuring year-round comfort and efficiency, and high-speed fiber internet to allow for modern connectivity in the serene rural setting. Complementing the main residence is a versatile 1300 SF metal shop building that also has central H&A. One side houses an apartment that provides an additional 500 SF of living space consisting of a bedroom, full bathroom, and kitchen—ideal for guests, extended family, or even rental opportunities. On the other side, approximately 800 SF of shop space provides ample room for projects, hobbies, and storage, with two large 10x10 garage doors and convenient attic storage above. In addition to the shop, outbuildings include a 1,200 SF old metal barn, a canning shed with cellar, and a 40' shipping container complete with electric. Outside, the sprawling acreage is adorned with perimeter fencing, established landscaping, and a charming historic windmill with an original 90' well beneath (not in use). All of this is tucked back off the road, down a gated lane that provides privacy and security. This unique property offers the best of both worlds - the timeless appeal of a classic farmhouse, combined with the peace of mind that comes from knowing it has undergone extensive updates. The perfect homestead awaits!
