Originally built in 1921, and believed to be the original Moffitt homestead, this shotgun style ranch was moved to its current location in 1953 just months prior to the opening of Bull Shoals Dam. This is one of the very few original, pre-war, homes left in Taney County. Great pains were endured to maintain as much of the original classic architecture while also incorporating as many modern conveniences as possible. An extensive remodel was undertaken that included rebuilding most of the outside walls and the entire roofing system on the north facing side of the home. All of the plumbing, all of the electrical, the HVAC system and all of the duct work, the roof, and entire exterior are all new, modern, and updated ready for another 100 years. A 1920s feel has been maintained with new paint in the classic farmhouse style with 10'' trim and 6'' casings, original crown moulding, original, custom built fireplace mantle, and original hardwood oak flooring in the living room and both guest bedrooms. Some unique features include the original exterior repurposed as a wall treatment featuring a recovered chalk board in the kitchen, original built-in shelving and original doors and hardware in the guest bedrooms, and period ceiling fans and lighting in the main living areas. A brand new master suite has been added that features a custom closet system, tile shower surround, and barn door sliders. Other features include a large 30'x16' back deck, detached two car garage, 1/3 acre corner lot, custom kitchen with double refrigerators, butcher block counter tops and island with seating, USB charging built into the outlets, a Moen Touch2O kitchen faucet, and a Nest Thermostat. Seller is also offering a rate buy down credit of up to $15, 000 to a buyer that closes on or before July 15th, 2024.
