What an amazing piece of real estate LOADED w/options for all types of buyers tucked away among a wooded backdrop + KILLER setting complete with all its wildlife & water views. Located on U.S 41 this parcel and its sister next door lend itself to a plethora of home based business options & ideas and simply a stellar location for commuters w/all the areas local amenities minutes away as well as state line. 1 parcel has the house (2x6 const) w/4 beds/2 Baths (2436 finshed SF under roof) PLUS the 1330SF basement is a walkout & does also have a 1/2 Bath with one side finishable setting on 1 acre for 299. Or, both parcels together Adding the adjoining 4.95 Acres w/woods and the pond + its own drive for a total package of 499 5.95acres! Xtra Land is only available for the new owner of the home unless they choose to pass on their option to purchase before closing at which time it will be available. A plat survey has been completed but not recorded yet until we know what the purchaser of the home wishes to do. Photos & Plat / Aerials online. Many updates have been done to the house including a huge generous upper master suite + has a 4th bedroom or office which also could be a fantastic walk-in closet. 2ndLevel loft gives your family the ever so import buffer space and for those that need: 2 MAIN floor beds + full bath. Stakes outside where seller had proposed a 24x28 att garage. If looking for bigger plenty of room for a pole barn and if you pick up both parcels expansion for a second home for family or future estate - the sky is the limit. Brand new front wrap around deck and adds to the outdoor living space. FIREPLACE and although updating is no doubt needed (expected for this acreage & price) super solid and move in ready. Yes, dated & the kitchen needs a makeover + there's some trim that needs to be finished but this is for the ones who want space inside & out and to make it their own. (taxes are on all 6acres...home on 1 acre est to be 2800yr w/homestead)
