Reduced price again! Year-round Pond! Think tree house! This is what the lady who designed the house, had in mind. This was all virgin forest when she crept through the woods to find this peaceful spot. When she found the BIG OAK, she decided this was the place she would build her "Treehouse" The living room and kitchen are in the upper floor so she could get a bird's eye view of her forest. This house is located in a place like none other. The seclusion is what makes it a serene and special place. The monster Grandpa Oak towering over the year-round pond, which is fed by an artesian spring, will draw you in and never let your heart go. The owner is selling her sacred spot after much thought. She is no longer able to keep up the maintenance, because she loves it so much, it's time to move on. She is the original owner and builder. The house is built with 2 oversize bedrooms downstairs and a full bath on the same level. Follow the stairs up to the wide-open main living area. The upstairs has a great woodstove and another full bath with a claw foot tub. Once you are upstairs you can see why the 592 sq.ft. wrap around covered deck was built on that level. It provides a beautiful outside living space as well as a view of the red bud trees, lilacs, roses, wild iris and daffodils in the spring. The air smells like cedars and honey. Part of the yard is fenced to keep the deer from dining on the roses. There is a lovely gazebo with electricity, attached to the deck for outdoor meals or just a secret reading or napping spot. Oh, by the way there is a fully insulated doghouse on the upper deck, see of you can find it. If one wanted to, they could remodel part of the upstairs to add another bedroom. The space upstairs is large enough that it would still be a good-sized living area. The wood stove keeps it nice and toasty in the winter. The house has a separate garage. There is a wonderful garden gate draped with roses that leads to the fenced garden with an apple tree and raised beds for your garden to be planted.This house is not a typical fixer, it just needs your personal touch. The bones of the house are solid as a rock. The house has 3' deep footings. New flooring in the bedrooms and on the stairs, 9/1. The seller hates to give it up but now here is your chance. Give it a look and see if you don't think it's a special place too. BONUS: Metal roof. Motivated seller.
