Own a Piece of Clarkston History! This beautifully preserved Greek Revival farmhouse, built in 1845 for Frederick and Ann Foster as their original homestead, offers a rare opportunity to own a true piece of local history. Situated on a private 1.76-acre parcel along Foster Road, this charming 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home beautifully blends timeless character with the conveniences of modern living. The spacious first-floor primary suite features a private full bath, while two generously sized bedrooms and a second full bath are located upstairs. A first-floor laundry and convenient lavatory add to the home's functionality. You'll love the charming farmhouse kitchen and the warmth of the original-style wood floors throughout much of the home. The inviting living and dining rooms showcase wood floors, classic chair rail, and a beautiful wood-burning fireplace. The spacious family room is a true gathering space, featuring gorgeous knotty pine paneling, a second wood-burning fireplace, and large windows overlooking the peaceful, private backyard. A wonderful three-season room provides additional living space and opens to a brick-paver patio and beautifully secluded grounds—perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying the surrounding nature. The original stone basement is dry and provides excellent additional storage. Just steps from the back door, the oversized 2.5 car garage offers plenty of room for vehicles, hobbies, and storage. This special home has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully preserved, including updated wood windows designed to complement the home's historic architecture. Recent improvements include a roof approximately 10 years old, septic field approximately 5 years old, and water heater replaced in 2022.
