About This Home

As of July 2020

A stone beauty which has stood the test of time. Originally built in the early 1840's and added onto in the early 1900's, there are over 170 years of stories this house could tell. Charming characteristics of the time are evidenced by the wood floors, open beam ceilings, deep window sills and, located in the kitchen, a fully functional walk-in open hearth fireplace complete with swivel arm fireplace crane. There is plenty of room for more than one cook in this kitchen complete with breakfast area, island, dishwasher and a half bath. A separate dining room and living room round out the first floor. Three bedrooms, one being a walk through, and a newer renovated, large, full bathroom with Jacuzzi tub, stand alone shower and two sinks are located on the second floor along with access to the floored attic for additional storage. A nicely covered side porch allows for dining "al fresco." Upgrades include some replacement windows, newer electric and plumbing. New roof in 2011, new oil tank in 2013, new well pump in 2017 and low, low taxes. Why rent when you can own? House was once an antique shop. Check with township for potential business use.
