This is a beautiful home built in 1950. The home sits on the front of the 10 acres, with Juniper Creek running through the middle of the property. We have worked to keep the home’s original charm, by exposing the stick built vaulted ceilings and heart pine floors, and refinishing the original claw foot tub. The ceilings are not enclosed (see photos). Many of the furnishings in the home are original to the time period in which the home was built. If you see something you like, it just might be for sale! Message the host to ask about pricing. Message the host to ask about pricing. Originally there was no central heat and air in the home so we have installed a brand new mini split unit, which heats and cools the home. There are additional fans and heaters in each bedroom, if needed. The bedrooms tend to get warmer in the summer and colder in the winter. The kitchen boasts its original cabinets, with a new butcher block top. There is a new vintage style small refrigerator, a full size stove/oven, microwave, and drip coffee maker. The bathroom boasts a beautifully restored claw foot tub. There is a shower nozzle that can be used in the tub as well. The intent of this property is to be a place to unplug and connect with one another and with nature. We now have high speed WiFi available via Starlink. There is no television available in the home but you can stream to your own devices, using our high speed internet. The cell service is great. There are books and games available, as well as plenty to enjoy outside.
The wooded area at the back of the house is where you will find signs directing you to Juniper Creek. The trail leads to two rustic wooden benches at the creek. The benches and signs are made from cedar trees harvested from the property. Breathe in the fresh air and smell of cedars while listening to the creek flow!
There are many deer, raccoons, and rabbits that roam freely throughout the property.
There is a new wooden picnic table and small grill on one side of the house. On the other side of the house, there is a fire pit area, with six outdoor chairs. We keep cut firewood next to the storage barn.
