• Features from Realtor.com: NEW PRICE! $55K reduction! Diamond in the VERY rough. Read reports to understand the repairs needed. A warm and welcoming estate needs new energy. This incredible family home evolved over a couple of decades, then was tenant occupied for 15 yrs. Can you bring the spark to revive the polish on this gem? The country kitchen has room for cooks and bakers and a BUNCH of spectators, then flows to the great room and gallery. Fir floors & ceilings, and the knotty pine paneling in the living room (and much of the rest of the house) emanate warmth, comfort and serenity. Up a few steps to the family room which feeds the north and south bedroom wings with separate entries. Outside we have a studio apartment, two carports, two workshops, a wine cellar, a separate garage with workshop and office space, a large play structure, a cool tree house, some raised beds in a deer proof garden, fruit trees and SUN! Neighbors are nearby in an emergency, but the parcel offers privacy and solitude if desired.
