About This Home

Step into the captivating world of 285 East Street, where historic roots meet modern luxury across 2,580 sq ft on 3.05 idyllic acres. Originally built in 1900 as a savvy two-family home, this fully updated residence showcases original character-gleaming wideboard floors, charming fireplace, exposed wood beams-paired with top-tier upgrades: a brand-new boiler (Dec 2024), electric hot water heater, drilled well, and full water-treatment system; complete electrical overhaul; updated baths; circa-2010 vinyl replacement windows; efficient pellet stove; and freshly painted interiors. More than a refresh, it's a thoughtful transformation: two bedrooms merged into a lavish, insulated master suite (2021), a remodeled laundry and entry, and a living room stripped to the studs, re-insulated, and dry-walled for efficiency and style. The original duplex layout remains intact-ideal for rental income or multigenerational living-yet it also functions beautifully as one grand estate, with configured spaces for in-law suites, home offices, or guest retreats. By blending timeless detail with turnkey modern comfort, this home delivers rare emotional appeal and real-world flexibility-creating a natural sense of urgency and FOMO among buyers.
