About This Home

As of April 2018

**2 New AC Units Recently Replaced!** Old World Charm...This intriguing stone and brick property has been carefully renovated to preserve the originality and charm of an 1825 farmhouse with today's efficiencies and expansions for comfortable living. Impressive outdoor living encompasses .94 acres surrounded by park land (no building will take place on either side), expansive decks with a pergola and direct access to the river! No more loading up the kayaks, canoes, paddle boats, or small motor boats! It feels like a vacation at home without the long drive times and traffic! It's In The Details...the remnants of the period in which the house was built can be found in the tall ceilings with crown moldings, raised panel doors and passageways, deep window ledges, multiple stone open hearth fireplaces and the rim lock and latch door hardware throughout the home. Owners invested well over $250,000 in maintenance and quality enhancements to the home. A few note-worthy mentions include adding the entry, pantry, mud room, bathroom, sunroom, decks and garages. It has been converted from oil to gas heat with 5 fireplaces to add warmth and ambiance. New Appleby windows, hardwood flooring added to the main level, 12' x 24' shed, cedar lined closet, newer hot water heater, plus hand-forged iron hardware for curtains and glass shelves for decorative display. Surrell countertops installed in kitchen and baths provide simple elegance and durability. Come see the attention to details in this unique home!
