Remarks:
Charming and full of character, this 1928 farmhouse offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern improvements, along with exceptional mini-farm potential. Ideally located just 5 minutes from the airport and only a few blocks from the new Publix currently under construction, convenience meets country living. Original details shine throughout the home, thoughtfully paired with recent updates, and while the property is permitted for a 2-bedroom septic, it features three functional bedrooms to suit a variety of needs. The fully fenced property with gated access creates a private, versatile setting ideal for animals, gardening, or simply enjoying the outdoors. A 2-bay garage with 14' ceilings provides ample space for storage or projects, and the 25'x35' RV/camper carport is equipped with its own separate 2-bedroom septic system, offering excellent potential for guests, rental income, or multi-generational living. Additional features include a small greenhouse for year-round growing and a run-in barn with chicken coop ready for livestock or poultry. Whether you're looking to start a mini-farm or just want room to live, work, and grow, this unique property offers flexibility, functionality, and timeless appeal.
