Endless Possibilities for this 2436 square foot home with attached 1000 square foot 2 bay garage. The heated garage has a concrete floor and 13-foot-high ceilings. Perfect for a car hobbyist to install a lift or just to store larger equipment. This property has been owned and maintained by the same family for over 60 years. The pride and thoughtfulness put into this property have created many opportunities. They do not build houses like this anymore. The amount of storage space, built-in closets, bookshelves, and cabinets make this unique. A beautiful custom stone fireplace and exceptional woodwork from floor to ceiling throughout the first floor create a relaxing, soothing atmosphere. Within the past year, a new roof was installed, and the wood siding was painted, maintaining the natural beauty of a seasoned home. A first-floor bath was installed and equipped with handicapped approved fixtures within the past few years. The second floor has 3-4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Plenty of closet space in each room, and there's an additional linen closet. This house is heated by the 4-zone hot-water baseboard or the wood boiler in the garage. The home has Otsego Municipal COOP as the electric provider. Country views from each of the large windows can be enjoyed, whether you are overlooking the 5-acre corn field or the 4 acres of high-tensile wire ready for livestock. With three outbuildings ready for any variation of hobby or business, some space can be developed for everyone in the family. The storage barn is 33x58x13, with one wide-open space that can be driven through to store campers' tractors, etc. Connected to this is a 40x32 two-story horse barn with 6 oak stalls and 2 floors to store hay and feed. This building has water and power already installed and opens up to the fenced-in area for easy pasturing. Several paddocks are separated by gates for easy livestock rotation. A small steel building, 24x24 with a concrete floor, was utilized as a welding shop and has electric and heat installed. The third outbuilding was once a Maple syrup house. It has a 24x28 main area with water, heat, and electric, and a cleaning area that is roughly 24x13. It would make a great location for a workshop, farm stand, or hangout.
