Property Description

Welcome to 701 Church Street, where timeless character meets rare opportunity just moments from town. Set on nearly a full acre, this 1920s home offers the kind of charm you simply can't recreate. From its architectural details to its inviting presence, the property carries a warmth and story that stands apart. The expansive grounds open the door to endless possibilities, highlighted by a 1953 sq ft barn ideal for a curated event space, workshop, or creative studio. The barn also features on-site utilities, offering strong potential for a future ADU. There are multiple carports & a large parking lot; making this ideal for work truck storage, RV and boat parking. In addition to the thoughtfully manicured front and fenced in retreat area; there is ample space behind the barn that could be used for a hobby farm. Inside, the home blends vintage appeal with functional flexibility. There are a total of 4 bedrooms on the first level, a formal dining area, expansive family room with a fireplace and a kitchen with ample storage and a sun drenched breakfast nook. A unique elevator provides access to an additional 916 sq ft basement level, perfect for a wine cellar, private theater, home gym, or a combination of all three. Need more space? With the right contractor, the basement could also be improved to offer a fantastic primary suite ( buyer to verify with county). Property Improvements include a metal roof, newer well, and multiple septic systems, adding both value and versatility to the property. Opportunities like this, nearly an acre, character-rich architecture, and usable land this close to town, are few and far between. 701 Church Street isn't just a home. It's a canvas for the lifestyle you've been waiting to create.
