FARMSTEAD
How would you like a little piece of the country? Well look no further the view is outstanding and the setting may be just perfect for this 22.63 acre farmstead
This large 5 bedroom home has three levels for you to decorate and fill with your furniture. Just the thought of that has to be exciting! The third floor has two large rooms with new windows. Depending on your hobbies or family needs this could be your art studio on the North Dakota prairie or it could certainly be used as additional bedrooms as well, maybe your own private dance music room. There is an abundance of storage on this level as well.
The second floor is where the five (5) bedrooms are located. The two south bedrooms have the old original hardwood floors while the other three bedrooms have wood floors as well. Two of the bedrooms have ceiling fans which should certainly move the air around on the entire level. There is a full bath on the second floor with a claw leg tub to stay in line with the vintage of the home. As you descend down to the main floor you will notice the open staircase that leads you to that level.
The main floor of the home has an extra large living room with plenty of windows, if you want a view take a look out the windows to the south and you will be looking at the James River which flows directly along the property. Seldom will you ever find a property with such a view. The original old front door with the glass insert is still where it was years ago. The formal dining room adjoins the living room and is certainly large enough to have a family get together and not run out of space. Just off the dining room is a room which could certainly be used for piano lessons or possibly a nice quiet room to watch the local news or read your daily newspaper. The owner is not certain but there may be hardwood floors under the carpet in the living room and dining room, since there is hardwood in front of the door coming in from the front porch.
The kitchen is where you will have plenty of room to generate meals for daily consumption or for those special family occasions. The cabinets surround the work area along with a stove and refrigerator as well as a freezer. There is plenty of room in this area to have a large kitchen table for the day to day meals while the dining room would be your special room for meals with friends and family.
There was an addition built on in 2004-2005 that included another main floor bathroom and laundry room. This entry has been a great addition which takes away any tracking of dirt and mess as you come inside from possibly hunting or fishing on the James River or tinkering around back in the trees.
The basement is an older basement that houses the heating system for the home, the system is a hot water boiler which operates on fuel oil. The system is approximately
10 years old. The electrical system has had some updates which involves breakers. The entire home has baseboard hot water with the exception of the living room and dining room which still has the cast iron radiators which certainly give it a touch of the past. The best thing about the cast radiators is they hold the heat for a long time. The home has rural water so never a worry about your water supply.
The exterior of the home is wood and the shingles are asphalt. There is a large front porch facing to the south where you would possibly spend many days just sitting enjoying the beautiful North Dakota outdoors. From the porch you can look directly down to the James River as well. The yard is surrounded by trees and is absolutely beautiful with all the wide open spaces. The remainder r of the yard to the east of the home includes curved 36x60 Quonset that is finished, heated with a propane furnace and has a floor drain along with a door opener. This building has 220 electrical as well, if you’re a welder this would be a great spot. The interior east wall has a large work bench that covers the majority of that side. There is also a 24x26 two stall garage for your automobiles.
If you would like to consider yourself as being a Hobby Farmer there is plenty of space where you could do some fencing and have that horse you have always wanted as well as other animals of your choice, right now a portion of the land north and east of the buildings has been farmed. The total acres including the building in this specific area covers 17.03 acres, while just to the south of the yard area is another 5.60 acres that runs directly up to and borders the James River, there are generally plenty of ducks and geese that seem to enjoy the James River as well, not certain but there may be a fish or two passing by, while if you want your own Golden Pond to use for skating in the winter time this may be just the place for you.
A home with the things this has to offer may not be on the market for long, if you think this is just what you have been waiting for, don’t hesitate grab this now before your neighbor does!!
