Property Description

Gorgeous, SWEDISH-BUILT CROSS PLAN FARMHOUSE on 5.6 picturesque ACRES! The proud, original builders actually etched their names and the date the home was completed into the basement plaster -1891! This home is nearly finished and ready for its new owners to love and care for it! This beautiful historic home blends timeless craftsmanship with thoughtful modern updates. A true labor of love, the current owners have worked to preserve the character and charm while adding improvements for today's lifestyle. Intricate woodwork, built-in bookshelves, transom windows above bedroom doors, colored leaded glass surrounding the windows, and a charming wraparound porch showcase the craftsmanship of this unique home. The spacious layout features 5 bedrooms—one on the main level and four upstairs—plus a main-level full bath and laundry. The upper-level primary suite includes a private en-suite bath and walk-in closet, while most bedrooms offer generous walk-in closets. Large rooms and abundant natural light add to the appeal. Bamboo flooring graces the living and dining rooms, with additional flooring and extra building materials and ready for the new owners to complete. Numerous updates include custom-cut limestone added to the lower exterior in 2022, a completely rebuilt covered porch in 2022, roof in 2022, water heater in 2025, and a new stainless steel stove and refrigerator in 2026. Dishwasher replaced in 2020. Furnace and central air are approximately 7–8 years old, and the well was replaced in 2010. All new Feldco windows in 2021 except one window. The extra-deep 2+ car garage was completely reconstructed with Wick Steel in 2026, offering excellent space for vehicles, equipment, hobbies, or storage. The 5.6-acre property also features additional outbuildings, a creek flowing toward the back of the property, abundant berry bushes, and multiple walking paths to explore the grounds. A rare opportunity to own a character-filled Swedish farmhouse with acreage, history, and room to finish making it your own! Some photos are virtually staged.
