Property Description
Discover this hidden gem in Owen Co. on a beautiful 35-acre parcel, partially wooded for privacy. A meandering gated driveway leads you to the original 1880s farmhouse, a charming story-and-a-half home perched on the rolling hills of this picturesque property. This farmhouse has been preserved with valuable upgrades, retaining its original hardwood floors, tall ceilings, and an abundance of natural light through updated energy-efficient windows. The walls are adorned with beadboard wainscoting, adding a touch of classic charm. Enjoy a seat on the porch, take in the native hydrangeas & majestic maple tree in the front landscape before entering the front door to the large living room featuring an original brick fireplace. The main floor master bedroom is spacious and includes an additional front door entrance. The formal dining room has built-in cabinetry and shelving, a long wall of windows, & an intricate textured wallpaper ceiling.
