Owned and loved by one family for nearly a century, this farmhouse in the heart of Payson is the property you've been waiting for! Set on 1.81 acres, this 3-bedroom, 1-office, 2-bath home blends historic charm with thoughtful modern updates. The grand kitchen offers ample space to cook & entertain- complete with butler's pantry, and wood-burning stove (also piped to second level of the home). And don't miss the cozy office, spacious laundry, and full bath right off the kitchen. The inviting wrap-around porch sets the warm welcoming tone of the home, complete with light-sensing lights and permanent Illuminate Outdoor Lighting for every season. Upgrades done in the past decade: expanding the kitchen and primary bedroom/bath, adding back patio/carport, new roof, furnace, air conditioner, water heater, flooring, plumbing, electrical, triple-pane windows, and attic insulation. The covered back patio spans the full length of the home. Built with steel-coated I-beams and posts to withstand the heaviest snow, the space is perfect for year-round entertaining, soaking in the hot tub, and parking autos, ATVs and bikes. The impressive 32' X 35' barn is perfect for storing vehicles, equipment, RV's, hay, and the open covered flex space serves for horse stalls or additional parking. Complete with running water, lighting and enough amps to operate a welder. An additional 1200-square-foot shed is ideal for hobbies and more storage (stubbed for power). The property is approved for two horses and other animals. Gravel was recently brought in to cover the back lot for parking semi's and heavy equipment, but could be cleared and converted to corrals and other ag needs. There are two RV power hook-ups as well as an on-site sewer dump.
