A rural, Henry County treasure on .46 acre with gorgeous, 360-degree views of countryside and active agriculture. Extremely peaceful and serene, on a rural highway with easy, quick access to Geneseo proper via Hwy. 82. Approx. 880 sq. ft. single-story.
Originally a one-room schoolhouse built in 1928. According to the previous seller: In 1960 it was framed in for residential use as a two-bedroom, 3/4 bath, small home. Previous seller moved a single-car, detached garage onto the property whose history/age is unknown. Previous seller did cosmetic work, only, which has been undone for greater progress. There is an addition on the north side of the house on slab whose age is also unknown.
Current seller purchased for $68000 and began extensive repairs and total interior demolition with the goal of restoring the home to its one-room, simple glory, able to 'breathe' again as an open-concept living space under its original, ten-foot ceiling.
Highlighted tasks completed:
Near-total interior demo for loft/studio-style living
Septic system (DePauw Septic)
Private well (DeDecker Plumbing)
New, underground electric service into house (JCE Co-Op and Weisser Electric)
New PVC plumbing from well into crawlspace under house (DeDecker)
8' ceiling removed to reveal original 10' ceiling
Partially wired and lit (new, correct electrical and lights in the addition) (Weisser)
Larger-size bathroom studded up, ready for full-size plumbing (toilet already plumbed for septic system maintenance and functionality)
Tree removal (several matures down; 3-4 to go)
Saplings and landscaping planted and new driveway graveled
Motivated seller offering a fast close. It is ready for a contractor-investor to take over.
