About This Home
As of June 2025Set back off of the road offering a bit of solitude and privacy, this wonderful antique townhouse offers the charm of the 1700's combined with the layout of its 1985 conversion and the upgrades that the present owner has completed over her 25 years of occupancy. Similar to a single family home, each of the two attached condominium townhouses have their own entry stairs and doors, separate yards, and designated parking spaces. The location is convenient to both sections of town - “old and new†- it's only steps to Starbucks ,the bus stop, stores, theaters, and great restaurants. The town bike trail and several conservation areas, are nearby as well. The first floor has a sun filled living room open to the kitchen and a separate dining room. The second floor has either two bedrooms or a bedroom and den with a shared bathroom (complete with laundry) and the third floor has a second master bedroom, private bath, walk in closet, and a deck overlooking the back yard and gardens.
