Old houses are great, but they often come with old house problems, like internal workings that don’t match up with modern demand. However, since this week is all about keeping things simple, we’re not about old house problems. We’re about old houses with as few problems as possible, and this renovated farmhouse in Sullivan County seems to hit the spot. And while it’s not terribly old (built in 1940), it’s old enough for issues.

The first floor features a central stone fireplace, oak floors, and a semi-open floor plane with the living area flowing into the dining room, along with a master suite plus second bedroom with its own entrance. The kitchen is of the gourmet variety with stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops. Upstairs is where the third bedroom is located, along with a half bath and den, as well as the original, re-done floors. These are are fine things, but what simplifies this house is the more modern features, like central A/C and the fact that the home is handicap-accessible (note the master bedroom on the first floor and wheelchair-friendly shower).

Here’s the kicker: It sits on 40 acres of land that, according to the listing, the current owner was looking to subdivide. Additional perks: Wrap-around deck, detached garage, and storage shed. Situated about 10 minutes from Bethel Woods.
