Additional features: Magnolia Acre has been well loved and cared for, recently updated and inspected, however guests should keep in mind that it still contains the quirks and character expected of a 100 year old farmhouse. The hardwood floors have been preserved, yet they may bow and creak. The primary bathroom was updated in 2020, yet the second bathroom contains a vintage cast iron tub and tile. An antique, working wind gauge sits atop the home, along side an old-time lightning rod system. We’ve included all the amenities one has come to expect with a modern space, while preserving the character of this home as best we could. We hope our guests enjoy finding the little details and curiosities around the property as much as we have!
