Step back in time into this impeccably maintained farmhouse built in 1870. Located near the Warwick county park and just north of French Creek, the home has been part of historic property tours that showcased the Jacobean woodwork as well as the superior craftsmanship of a bygone era.

The red ribbed steel roof installed in 2014 carries a lifetime warranty transferable to the new owner. Natural wood floors are under foot in most of the first floor space. Deep window sills demonstrate the thickness of the wall constructions - that affords consistent heating and cooling throughout the home. This home stays surprisingly cool even on hot days. And, once warmed in the winter months, the thick walls retain the warmth.

There's plenty of space in the newer family room where the ceiling has been vaulted with dramatic lighting overhead. Tucked into one end is the convenience of a powder room and laundry area. Nearby is the spacious galley kitchen with all the modern conveniences. On the 2nd floor are 2 generously-sized bedrooms, a smaller bedroom that is being used now as an office space as well as the full bathroom. The finished walk-up attic space could have electric baseboard heat added to add on more living space.

French doors lead outside from the family room at the back of the home to a stone patio - a great location to cookout. On chilly days, the tall potbelly stove warms the stone smokehouse, circa 1790. It's also a convenient place to retire to if rain forces you and your barbecue guests inside. It also provides a convenient location for those smokers who get banished from the rest of the party inside.

The nearby pond is stockable and has had bass in it in the past. A heron frequents the water there as do croaking frogs, white tail deer, rabbits and a beaver has wandered through on occasion, too.

An over-sized garage can easily accommodate the height and length of a pick-up truck and have room for the riding lawnmower along with other yard implements. The floral garden areas add splashes of color against the white plank fencing that frames the yard in the front and side. This home would also qualify for USDA financing.
