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.

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!
