About This Home

As of May 2019

Showings start 4/6! Great starter home, walkable to downtown yet nicely situated at the end of a quiet street in the historic section. Well maintained, this former farmhouse received upgrades to bring the laundry and a half bath to the first floor. An enlarged kitchen has tons of cabinets, a breakfast bar, center island, double oven range and a brand new dishwasher! A heated year-round sun room awaits you, as well as an open air covered side porch, a barn with a first floor workshop space, and even a large second floor heated room great for a crafting retreat separate from the house. Pooches and green thumbs rejoice – there are sun and shade gardening areas, plus an Invisible Fence! Many original architectural details still remain, while the wiring, heating system, water heater, paint and roof have all been done. A central chimney and hearth are ready for a wood or pellet stove to lend more ambiance to your dining, or to help reduce your oil usage! At this price, why rent anymore?
