From the Zillow listing:
Call Chip Gaines and let’s get busy on bringing this farmhouse fixer-upper back to fabulous! Priced UNDER APPRAISED VALUE and perched proudly atop a newer poured/block foundation this farmhouse diamond overlooks natures beauty and is situated just a stones throw from Middle Fork River Forrest Preserve. 2 full acres for your new homestead includes a 74X45 outbuilding and chicken house. This rural majesty offers 5 bedrooms with a first floor option featuring an attached half bath. More main floor features include a country kitchen, first floor laundry room, warm and inviting living room, enclosed front porch, and the original grand staircase leading you to more original and historic features. Four generously sized bedrooms with large closets upstairs share a huge full bath ready for your personal touches. The unfinished attic welcomes your vision and would be an awesome lookout to spur creativity for your next novel or thoughtful painting. Below deck is a world of possibilities in the huge unfinished basement! The usual suspects of country living have already been addressed with the newer foundation, newer Trane HVAC, AND a rebuilt septic system just ten years ago. If forced air is your preference then rely on the Trane system, but if you really want that full farmhouse experience fire up the corn burner and absorb the warmth of the season. Just in time for Christmas!! Give the kids what they really want this year….a new life in the country with every last detail included from the grainfield neighbors, 360 degree views of natures canvas, and more wildlife than the county fair.
Let them know you saw it on Old House Life!
