About This Home

As of September 2021

Currently used as a large, single family residence, this home has many options to consider. Keep it as is and enjoy the original house and addition for yourself, close off the addition and use it as a two-family property, or bring in roommates and still enjoy separate amenities. As a single family, this property boasts 5 BR, 2 BA, 2 kitchens, plus a fully finished basement and upper level deck. There are several thoughtful, unique touches that add character you won't find elsewhere. All set on 2 wide open acres of land that also include 265 feet of water frontage on Fowler Brook. Pick your own apples, pears, and blackberries or watch the deer from your large, first floor deck as they enjoy eating their share. Don't wait, make this home your castle!
