Description

Beautiful land surrounds this 5 acre farm with a 2 bedroom 2 bath home. As you drive up the paved drive to the light yellow house with brick red vinyl roof, you have a large detached 2 car garage with open lean-tos on either side. A wood fence encloses the side pasture and back pasture on this beautiful farm that was home to several horses. Kitchen entrance gives you a show of dark rich wood cub boards and a view out the kitchen to the pasture and tire swing hanging from a back yard tree. With 1234 square foot living space is a large bedroom, bath/laundry room, large walk in closet, and a newer family room with wood burning fire place and sliding doors to an outside back deck. The basement is partially finished with a bedroom, bathroom, activity room, door leading to outside steps. The home is equipped with gas furnace or wood stove for heating.

People also run the stop sign on the Allendale Winslow entrance so you have to be super careful there, and people drive pretty fast on Allendale . If you have kids make sure you have a fence and not close to the main road "
