Description
Every home has a story, but few houses offer a century of chapters. For the first time in four generations, this storied farmhouse is ready to begin a new legacy. Set upon 2.5 scenic acres in Sugar Creek Twp, this isn't just a property; it is a time capsule of rural heritage, a ''bit of a project'' for the visionary, and a sanctuary for those who believe that a home's soul is just as important as its walls & floors. We won't sugarcoat it: this home will require a ''labor of love.'' With some deferred maintenance and the need for updating (1983 was its last major remodel) it is the definition of a ''diamond in the rough''. The home contains the craftsmanship that has all but vanished from modern builds, featuring original woodwork that remains a hallmark of the interior. The expansive 14-room layout, sits atop a flagstone foundation and a partial basement. While the home celebrates its past, it has been updated with essential modern conveniences like central cooling and a cozy propane fireplace. After a day of restoring the interior, you can retreat to the private hot tub—a surprising and welcome luxury. The property is a hobby farmer's dream, featuring an array of functional outbuildings including an 864SF barn, a 1,450SF poultry house, and a massive 2,320SF enclosed pole barn. Perhaps the most enchanting aspect of this property is the history provided by the current Owner's POA. Growing up, they recall a childhood defined by a gentle, protective ''spirit friend''— who would sit beside them at the kitchen table and color, occasionally helping choose the perfect crayon and softly humming along to childhood tunes. This farmstead is looking for more than just a buyer; it is looking for a steward. If you are a dreamer, a restorer, or someone who finds beauty in the patina of time and the whisper of a song, this is the project you've been waiting for. Bring your tools, your imagination, and perhaps a fresh box of crayons. Your future—and a piece of history—is waiting.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy kids all went to elida. The high school was probably the better one out of the 3. They do no care about bullying. There is no support for the kid being bullied other than "go see a counselor " nothing ever happens to the bullies. Kids with special educations a by far at the bottom of the list, the cheerleaders and football players are the only ones that get help or celebrated. Most of the teachers are great. Others are a nightmare. My kids hated the school lunches and would come home and tell me the nastiest stories about their school lunches and what they found in their food. Growing up around here, but going to a different high school than elida you always hear the "bad stories" and how terrible Elida was. I never thought it was true... until my kids had to go there because we lived in district. There's like almost zero communication with elida and parents. So much stuff happens that my kids come home and tell me (such as my kid being pulled into the principal office to be searched bc they thought he was selling vapes... found out he doesn't. My kids doesn't even smoke. I never received a phone call. Email. Nothing telling me that they patted my kids down then searched his locker bookbag and car. Summed up... don't send your kids to elida! You WILL regret it.Parent Review2y ago - Elida Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis experience, for the past 2 years, was horrific. The experience at this middle school just made us wish for high school. I know that this school has great teachers, unfortunately, my child was only able to encounter 2- one last year and one this year. Perception is everything. So I can only say, after your first encounter with the counselor or principal (not assistant) go with your gut. There seems to be a lack of compassion and empathy. Save all of your emails- the emails will just reinforce the dismissive attitudes of leadership and staff.Parent Review6y ago
