Situated on 8.36 acres, this remodeled farmhouse at 576 N. State Route 560 in Urbana boasts a working orchard with 28 varieties of apple trees.

The property is listed by Henderson Land Investment Co. for $285,000.

The apple orchard was open for business until November 2016. The property includes a 75-by-40-foot barn that was rehabbed in 1993 and converted to a pole barn. A water line runs from the house to the barn.

Special features of this distinctive home include cathedral ceilings, French doors, hardwood floors, walk-in closets, a formal dining room, a sunny breakfast room, wood-burning stove and an open, spiral staircase.

Built in 1900, the home has three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and approximately 2,720 square feet of living space. The house has a partial crawl space foundation and a partial, unfinished basement. The exterior of the home is vinyl.

Exterior features include a detached, two-car garage, a covered front porch and a long gravel driveway that ends with a parking area in front of the barn. The detached garage is heated with a propane heater and has a floored second story. A 16-by-20-foot, screened porch with a brick floor overlooks the back and side yards.

This home has seen many updates, including new roofs on both the house and the garage that were added in 2014 and a new septic system that was installed in 2013. The detached garage and an addition to the home were added in 1990.

Sheltered by the covered front porch, the front door opens to an entry space with a hallway that leads to the main living area of the home. An open concept living room and sunken family room offer space for entertaining. Features include neutral carpeting, a spiral staircase that leads to the second floor, a wood-burning stove and oversized windows with half round windows at the top.

The kitchen features a breakfast bar center island plus an abundance of wood cabinetry and counter space. The dishwasher, range and refrigerator are included in the price of the home.

Just off the kitchen is the formal dining room as well as a breakfast room that is lined with long windows that offer views of the apple orchard.

Children in the neighborhood attend school in the Graham Local school district.
