Come put your own design and dreams into this home that was once known as the Jefferson County Poor Farm. You could live and work there to earn your keep. Then in the latter years it became an elite retirement center. Main level has 11 foot ceilings, upstairs and basement have 9 foot ceilings and loads of daylight streaming in. Currently zoned as residential. There is a kitchen, one bath and a living room that was also used as a bedroom while the sellers lived there. Much of the original wood trim and doors remain . Dumwaiter on top level was working but recently has stopped moving but you can hear the motor still working its just not engaging. Most of the lathe and plaster walls and been removed but 2 x4 framed walls remain and some have new sheetrock in place. Brand new septic tank, and lateral field were put into place before current sellers bought the home. Sellers never used the new system. New septic would need to be hooked up to the sewer drain. Current sellers used the old system that was still working. This could be a showstopper home with some time and love put into it. Or as long as the county would allow it could be a beautiful wedding venue, or bed and breakfast, endless possibilities. Buyer would need to check with county. It may be contingent upon a conditional use permit. Acreage has open areas with views and has some wooded areas too. No gravel roads and a beautiful drive.
