Property Description

7220 Neal Road is more than a farmhouse. It is a home with a story more than a century in the making.Built by the Neal family in 1910, the home began as a simple one-room farmhouse and expanded over the decades as the family and times changed. It has remained in the Neal family for generations and today offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a formal dining room, great room, living room, kitchen, pantry, laundry room, sunroom, three covered porches, a carport, and a detached two-car garage.The property includes two already subdivided parcels totaling approximately 2.81 acres, adding another layer of opportunity. The 1.41 acre front parcel includes the farmhouse and detached garage, while the additional 1.40 acre rear parcel is buildable and already has an approved building permit for a 2,400 square foot, 4 bedroom home with a 3 car garage. A septic permit, building permit, and perc test are on file with Wilson County, taking some of the preliminary work out of planning for future construction. Building plans may also be available for purchase separately for an interested buyer. Prefer to keep the extra acreage instead? The rear parcel also provides additional space for gardening, agricultural use, or simply enjoying more land. An easement along the right side of the property provides access from Neal Road to the rear parcel.Inside, the home's history and character are immediately apparent. The great room and formal dining room feature beautiful old hardwood floors with the kind of character and patina that only come with time. High ceilings add to the sense of space in both rooms, while the great room's fireplace with gas logs creates a warm focal point.The formal dining room and great room flow into the kitchen and living room, connecting the home's main living spaces. The kitchen is quaint and inviting, while the adjoining living room offers a comfortable space for everyday living.Just off the kitchen may be one of the home's most charming little spaces, the sunroom. Filled with natural light, it is a plant lover's dream and could just as easily serve as a mudroom, sitting area, or everyday entry from the adjoining carport.Beyond the living room are the home's three bedrooms, second bathroom, and laundry room. Once a porch, the laundry room was enclosed years ago and now includes washer and dryer hookups, a utility sink, water heater, and air handler.A farmhouse built in 1910 comes with a story, and this one has evolved through numerous additions and renovations over more than a century. Its age and evolution are part of its character, and it has been cared for by the same family for generations. Recent improvements include a new roof in 2020, HVAC system in 2021, and a new septic tank and drain lines in 2024. The windows have also been replaced, although the installation date is unknown.The seller is aware that the crawl space needs additional work and has estimates available for interested buyers.
