Travel back to the “Good ol’ Days” in this quaint country
home with peaceful country living yet only 12 miles from
town. This home has been updated and modernized while still
leaving the character of the home’s origin. Tax records show
the home as being built in 1955 but the owner thinks it is
closer to the early 1900’s because of the style and
materials. The kitchen has been modernized with new
stainless gas range and dishwasher but also has a small wood
burning stove for charm. Huge windows over the sink give you
a gorgeous view of the back yard and lets in the natural
light.
The house has 10 ft ceilings and a beautiful interior. The
4.65 acres is almost completely flat. The soil is the rich,
darker soil that made and keeps Forest Home a farming
community. There are many mature pecan trees on the property
and property lines as well as some young (but established)
apple trees, plum trees, pear trees, peach trees, blueberry
bushes and Satsuma trees. There are also 3 mature oaks
providing shade for the house and yard. For the ladies,
there are camellia bushes, azalea bushes, a tulip tree, a
young blooming pear and a very large magnolia tree.
There are 4 bedrooms and a bonus room that is currently used
for an office. With great Internet access through DSL or ATT
wireless, working from home is easy and productive.
HORSES WELCOME** Part of the 4.65 acres is fenced so that
horses or a few cattle could easily be added. Several
neighbors have horses and can be seen riding them down the
country roads from time to time. Outbuildings include a 40’
X 60’ pole barn, a 30’ X 50’ metal workshop, an 8’ X 12’
metal storage building, a tractor shed and a chicken coop.
From the front porch you can see the cotton fields and a
little white church. If you are looking for a weekend home
or a full time home, you must see this one… |
