Escape to peaceful country living at 2974 Harbison Road, a single-story bungalow on a sprawling 0.9-acre lot (169' frontage x 222' depth) framed by mature trees and wide-open farmland. Featuring solid bones, a durable metal roof, and endless potential, this home is a true blank canvas waiting for your renovation vision. The property requires extensive cosmetic updating throughout-including fresh paint, modern flooring, updated trim, and contemporary fixtures-making it the ultimate sweat-equity opportunity to transform a structurally sound country home into a modern rural showcase. The interior layout offers a great foundation ready for a full aesthetic overhaul. Step past the front foyer into a spacious living room centered around a rustic floor-to-ceiling fieldstone accent wall and vertical wood paneling, ready to be refreshed with stylish finishes. Adjacent is the eat-in kitchen with solid wood cabinetry, wainscoting, and a picture window overlooking the rear yard-an ideal footprint to reimagine an open-concept layout. Accommodations include bright, well-sized bedrooms alongside a dedicated main-floor laundry room that originally served as the third bedroom and can easily be converted back to suit your family's needs. Outside, relax on the front porch or step out back onto the raised deck overlooking expansive lawns, a play treehouse structure, and mature evergreens. The grounds also feature two functional storage sheds, including one with electrical already in place-perfect for a workshop, hobby space, or equipment storage. Equipped with exterior propane service and central heating and cooling, this generous nearly full-acre property provides exceptional room to grow. For contractors, handy buyers, or renovators seeking tranquil country acreage with massive upside, 2974 Harbison Road is ready for its next chapter.
