About This Home

As of July 2021

Fairhaven Character Home w/ separate 2 bedroom cottage.This classic Happy Valley home sits on a large 80'x100' lot with a pond & gardens. Main house has 3/4 bedrooms (small 4th), new foundation and updated wiring & windows. 1,000 sq. ft partially finished basement w/ 8' ceilings, bathroom and 220 power can be a fantastic shop or studio space. Cottage is a legal rental. Profitable property as a rental but would make a lovely home if updated (keep the 2 bedroom unit as a rental or make a home office?). Newer Solar panels cover a good percentage of the power bill. Plenty of off street parking or room to build a garage.
