Check it out! Where do I start with this beautiful 3.6 acre mini-farm in Whitley County?! Great location if you are looking for some space or raise livestock but still be close to town. Don?t let the age fool you, even though built in 1870 this home has had a complete transformation. Your new home was brought down to the studs. Which means it has new beams, subfloor, sheet rock, some new pex plumbing, PVC drain lines, etc. From the moment you walk-in your new home, you will notice the beautiful engineered hardwood flooring, slate tiles and new carpeting throughout. All new lighting and ceiling fans in every room. Brand new windows. Brand new metal roof with 6? gutters. You will also love the trim throughout this home. The trim was brought in from a cedar mill in Tennessee. All new kitchen appliances stay! All new water softener, water heater and bladder tank. Awesome open floor plan. Dining room and living room has been opened up and accented with the cedar beams. Home is very efficient when it comes to heating. The Dutchwest wood stove has been used for just one season. Master en suite is a true oasis. Great views from the master bedroom which includes a door to the outside. New en suite vanity, toilet and huge walk in closet. Most of these updates have been done in the past 18 months. Massive attached garage is great for a workshop or extra storage. Garage includes a storage room, floored attic with pull down stairs, a mini kitchen and full bathroom. Which is great for cleaning up before entering your home. Outside has 2 pond views. Enormous 3 car detached garage is great for additional storage, workshop or more space for the mini-farm. Pole building has pens and opens to the pasture. Walking distance to Loon Lake. Take the boat out to many lakes including, Big Lake, Crooked Lake, Tri-Lakes, etc. Just a 15 minute drive in Columbia City and US 30.
