Upon entering from the wide front porch, notice the low-maintenance exterior of vinyl siding and columns. From your front porch, you have a view of a farm field and nature... no neighbors in site.

The kitchen is equipped with custom pull-out shelving in the pantry, a stacked wall oven and microwave, an electric cooktop with a Griddle option, a new dishwasher, and abundant cabinet storage. The unique butcher block island has a rich history, originating from Olanta Middle School in the 1950s where one of the children who grew up in the home was principal for 40 years. Down the hallway, discover four bedrooms and two full baths. One bedroom provides access to the charming "Cypress Room", a sunroom with cypress-clad walls and tile flooring leading to the fully fenced backyard. Be sure to explore the attic, a remarkable space for storage displaying the home's history with original beadboard ceilings showcasing writings from the original owner's children about farm life and The Monkeys.
