Property Description

Charming 1897 Farmhouse on Nearly ½ Acre in a Coveted Neighborhood Welcome to a beautifully preserved piece of history! This 1897 farmhouse is filled with warmth, character, and thoughtful updates—making it a rare find. Nestled on nearly half an acre, this home has been lovingly maintained by just three families in its 125+ year history. The original owners, the Bussard family, were among the founding farmers who sold their land to develop the neighborhood—giving this home deep local roots and a rich story to tell. Inside, you'll find incredible storage throughout: Cedar-lined closets in two bedrooms A 13-foot custom walk-in closet in the primary bedroom Built-in cabinetry in the dining room, living room, and upstairs den (or 4th bedroom) A coat closet in the living room, complete with a large hidden space beneath the back stairs The large eat-in kitchen offers plenty of room for gatherings and features a pantry cabinet and lots of storage. With a circular main-floor layout, the home flows easily from room to room, making entertaining a breeze. Upstairs, the bedrooms are large and inviting, with hardwood floors, solid wood doors, and wood-framed windows that overlook the mature trees and gardens. Additional features include: Two staircases to the upper level A whole-house attic fan with a custom cover Recessed lighting in many rooms A cozy living room fireplace A massive unfinished attic—ideal for storage or potential future living space A dirt cellar with gorgeous stone walls, an original fireplace, and a perfect spot for an extra fridge or freezer Step outside and enjoy your morning coffee on the charming side porch, which also cleverly hides a tool shed. The newly paved driveway is on the property edge and invites you into the large front yard, while the backyard features: A 10x10 shed with woodworking bench An old cistern perfect for composting or making mulch Established gardens and mature trees, ideal for a swing, climbing, or just relaxing All of this is located in a welcoming, tight-knit neighborhood—just four blocks from Marty Snook Park, home to trails, playgrounds, and community events. An elementary school is nestled right in the neighborhood, making this an ideal location for families. This home blends timeless charm with modern comforts and invites you to become part of its story. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of local history in one of the area’s most beloved neighborhoods!
