Some homes just feel like they were built to be lived in for generations, and this 1935 ranch farmhouse on Tennessee Ridge Rd is one of them. Set on 3.1 level acres in the Humphreys County countryside outside Waverly, the property pairs original character with real everyday utility — the kind of combination that’s increasingly rare on the market today. It’s listed at $224,900.
A Traditional Floor Plan with Real Character
The listing calls out a traditional floor plan, and at 2,087 square feet, this home delivers exactly that: a separate 20×26 living room, a paneled den with its own 14×18 footprint, and a spacious eat-in kitchen running 12×30. All three bedrooms sit on the main level, led by a primary bedroom at 11×19. One detail stands out immediately on the features list — a claw foot tub, the kind of original touch that’s disappeared from most homes built after this era and adds real character to the bathrooms here.
Two Fireplaces and Several Outbuildings
Wood-burning fireplaces anchor both the den and the living room, giving the home two distinct gathering spots for cooler months, on top of its central heating and air conditioning. Outside, the property includes several outbuildings — a barn and additional storage structures — sitting on 3.1 level acres, giving buyers real utility beyond the house itself: room for equipment, animals, or hobby farming without needing to build a thing.
The Practical Details
Water comes from a private well, and the property runs on a septic tank. Parking includes two carport spaces plus additional uncovered parking on the driveway. The home includes energy-efficient windows, and a metal roof tops the structure. There’s no HOA, and the listing notes standard special conditions on the sale.
