This is a lovely little 1950s farmhouse. It has everything you would want to enjoy country life. The house was built in the craftsman style with wide wood trim and hardwood floors. Many of the original characteristics of the house are still in place, such as the arched doorways into the hall. The walls are plaster-covered with an inviting texture that catches the light. The fireplace in the living room can be wood-burning or use the gas logs that are in place. The house has undergone updates in the last two years, such as new paint, new electrical lines and box, new floors (Hardwood is under the new flooring), a new French drain system in the front yard, a new roof, a new hot water heater, and the basement was painted with water sealant. No restrictions will allow you to garden or have farm animals. The storage sheds will provide the space for recreational equipment such as kayaks and fishing equipment. The New River State Park is only two miles away. You can enjoy a day on the river or hike and be home in 5 minutes.This peaceful community gives one a sense of a slower lifestyle.
