The main floor features a spacious great room with cathedral ceilings, a central brick chimney and wood stove, along with an open kitchen and dining area and a full bathroom.

A barn-garage offers versatile space for vehicles, tractors, recreational equipment, workshop use, or livestock, and a separate chicken house adds even more possibilities for those looking for a small hobby farm or country lifestyle.
