Taylor, MO

If these walls could talk!  According to county records this home was built in 1850, but older plat maps date it back to possibly 1830.  Many of the original features are still intact, including hardwood floors, trim, brickwork, a few doors & a sprawling front porch.  There are also many modern updates in this rare gem – updated double pane windows, updated furnace & ductwork and a handy back porch.  With 4 full bedrooms and a bathroom both upstairs and on the main level, there is plenty of room here.  The main level features an oversized dining room looking towards the pond, that leads right into the cozy front living room over looking the front porch.  The kitchen includes a walk-in pantry, center island, and all appliances convey.  The basement is solid and is currently being used as a utility room.

Included on this property is a new (2018) 30×40 metal utility shed, with a full second story, concrete floors, overhead doors, electric, and water lines have been set.  Also, a 10×16 storage shed and a stocked pond.  The home is surrounded by timber, sits on 9.7 secluded acres with timber surrounding the home & outbuildings.  You won’t have to worry about road traffic here – the driveway is lined by trees, and the house can’t be seen from the road.
