A LITTLE HISTORY, A LITTLE VISION, AND FIVE ACRES OF COUNTRY POSSIBILITIES! Built in 1905, this true country farmhouse has a story to tell - and perhaps you're the one to write its next chapter! Nestled on a secluded 5-acre parcel in rural Waterman, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath farmhouse is surrounded by mature trees and neighboring farmland, offering privacy, peaceful surroundings, and the charm of country living. She's not a polished modern home, but with a little imagination, some updating, and a willingness to roll up your sleeves, this century-old farmhouse could become a wonderful country retreat! A private driveway off Route 23 welcomes you to this charming farmhouse, where an enclosed front porch greets… Read More you upon arrival. Featuring partial glass ceiling panels, this inviting space offers the possibility of becoming a delightful sunroom where you can relax and enjoy the surrounding countryside. Inside, the country kitchen offers generous counter space, newer stainless steel appliances (approximately two years old), and a stove nook with additional space for spices, cookware, and everyday essentials. For those who enjoy home cooking, this kitchen has plenty of potential! The spacious formal dining room can easily accommodate an expandable table, making it a wonderful gathering place for holiday dinners and special occasions. The adjacent living room provides a comfortable space to unwind. An exceptionally large main-level bathroom features a jetted tub, while the convenient first-floor laundry/mudroom, located near the kitchen, offers additional cabinetry for storage. Upstairs, the primary bedroom enjoys lovely views of the surrounding countryside and features its own private deck - imagine sipping your morning coffee while taking in the peaceful rural setting or relaxing outdoors at the end of a long day! A second bedroom and full bathroom complete the upper level. The third bedroom offers a separate entrance off the main-level laundry room, providing an interesting and flexible layout. A partial basement offers additional storage space. Outside, the possibilities continue! A detached two-car garage and adjacent shed provide plenty of room for lawn equipment, tools, hobbies, and recreational toys. A hunting trailer will also remain with the property. With five acres to enjoy, mature trees providing natural privacy, and farmland nearby, there is plenty of space to embrace the country lifestyle. The current owners have especially enjoyed the seclusion and peaceful surroundings this property offers. Notable improvements include the house roof (2020, excluding the front porch), garage roof and well (2025), 100-amp hardwired electrical service (2023), septic tank (2015), and windows (2012). A HOME WITH HISTORY AND ROOM FOR NEW BEGINNINGS! Built in 1905, this farmhouse reflects the character and imperfections that often come with a home of this era. Cosmetic improvements, including some trim work, ceiling tile repairs, and general updating, will help bring out her potential. The property is being sold AS-IS, and buyers should appreciate that a home of this age may require ongoing care and attention. But for someone with vision, a little skill, and an appreciation for country living, the opportunity is certainly here! Five secluded acres, peaceful surroundings, and a farmhouse waiting for its next chapter. 14-month home warranty will be provided to the buyer at closing. Bring your imagination and make this piece of country history your own! Read Less
