If you have been dreaming of living in a true farmhouse -one filled with warmth, character, and plenty of room to make your own, this may be the one. Constructed in the 1860s, this stately brick home offers charm and a sense of history that you won’t find in newer homes. Greet guests on a welcoming front porch. The main level includes a huge living room with open banister staircase, pellet stove, and high ceiling. The beautiful, remodeled kitchen features a cast iron farmhouse sink, butcher block counters, subway tile backsplash, island, recessed lighting, sliding barn door opening to an organized walk-in pantry, and Dutch-door access to the convenient covered deck area – a super spot for outdoor dining and entertaining. There’s plenty of room to host large gatherings in the oversized formal dining room which can comfortably accommodate a 12-foot farmhouse table. A powder room is also conveniently located on the ground level. Two staircases lead to the spacious second floor which houses 6 rooms (several walk-through style) that can serve as bedrooms or in other capacities; maximize the space to your liking and create a home office, game room, or guest space. Random-width wood flooring and deep windowsills add charm throughout much of the home. The large walk-up attic includes a bonus room plus a huge, unfinished area providing a tremendous amount of easily accessible storage or potential expansion space. The multi-room basement provides even more storage space and includes a convenient work-out area. One of the most distinctive and unique features of this property is its great versatility; in addition to the residence, there is currently a commercial space on the first floor that is completely separate from the main residence. This area represents a great opportunity for the buyer with an entrepreneurial spirit. Previously home for over a decade to Malizzi Cakes, a popular custom bakery, this inviting suite of 2 large rooms, sunporch entry, and powder room offers so many possibilities to the next owner. Based on the new owner’s plans and obtaining applicable approvals with Amity Township, the Rural Village (RV) zoning district permits this first floor space to be potentially utilized as a retail store, barber shop, salon, craft or antique store, gallery, professional office, food establishment, or an array of other business ventures. Parking for about 8 cars is convenient for this unit. The possibility of creating an income-producing space may also help offset the cost of homeownership. Enjoy outdoor entertaining and recreation on the covered side deck and in the level back yard. A large 36’x24’ 3-bay single story barn structure with animal enclosures can serve as a 2 car garage/workshop and/or for homesteading activities. Great location close to community parks, recreation, shopping, public services, and affording easy access to major commuter routes. If you are looking for a cookie-cutter house, this isn’t it. But if you are looking for a vintage farmhouse full of history, charm, quirks, warmth, and opportunities, be sure to check out 1203 Old Swede Road.
