Step into a piece of history that's been thoughtfully brought into the present. Originally built in 1894 this farmhouse home offers the kind of quiet, tucked-away rural charm that's increasingly hard to find. The house itself has been carefully updated where it matters most. A new roof (2024), new gutters, and new insulated siding (all backed by a transferable warranty) mean the major systems are already well in hand. Inside, you'll find new flooring throughout, fresh paint, and extensive updating, including replacement windows as well. The kitchen is finished with level 3 quartz countertops and a reverse osmosis water system. The newer addition centers on a vaulted great room with a wood-burning fireplace, complemented by a full bath... both warmed by radiant floor heat. A formal dining room sits just off the kitchen, and central vac adds an easy layer of everyday convenience throughout. The addition's lower level offers a bedroom, half bath, and utility room with its own private egress stairs, making it a comfortable option for guests or a private retreat. The attic adds a generous bonus space with a large closet, with potential as a low-ceiling 4th bedroom, if needed. A detached 2-car garage with electric and running water completes the property. It's got a large shop area with air compressor, storage, and a slop sink, providing endless opportunities for projects at home. You'll appreciate the peace-of-mind of having a 200 amp service, updated electric and plumbing throughout, and a new septic system installed in 2023. The deep front yard keeps road noise to a minimum, and provides a fantastic rural view of surrounding farmland. Also, despite the peaceful remote setting, you're just 5 minutes from town, coffee shops, etc. Timeless farmhouse character, thoughtfully updated for modern living; 59 Cardinal Drive is a rare find.
