Experience the best of both worlds. This acreage is beautifully updated and still captures the classic soul of its 1930s origins while offering the finishes of a brand-new home. The moment you step onto the updated Trex front porch, the craftsmanship is evident.

Outside the acreage is updated with a brick patio & firepit, lush gardens and you can’t miss the Detached 30x40 Garage/Shop: A massive, renovated workspace featuring 220V service, insulated walls, and LED shop lighting—perfect for mechanics, woodworkers, or car enthusiasts.Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a turnkey acreage with character that can’t be replicated.
