Beautiful 1850 historic cape with 5 beds and 3 baths on 5 acres! Enter through the mudroom with plenty of storage into a cozy kitchen with a wood stove and lovely soapstone counters and an under-mounted farmhouse sink. The first floor laundry is just off the kitchen. The sunny dining room features corner cabinets with glass fronts. The large living room has built-in shelves and another wood stove as well as sliding doors to the covered and uncovered decks and stone patio at the back of the house. The original "keeping room" can be used as a den or office or extra room. A full bathroom with clawfoot tub finishes off the first floor. Up the original staircase you'll find a bedroom with bathroom en suite and two additional bedrooms along with a 3/4 bathroom accessible from the main hallway. Up a second staircase from the kitchen are two more bedrooms that were completed in 2021 over the kitchen and barn. There have been lots of updates including a new chimney and appliances in 2016, new sheetrock and paint in many places, vinyl replacement windows throughout the house (except for three antique glass windows), new state permitted septic system for a 5 bedroom house completed in 2019, updated bathrooms, generator hook up, and the decks were added in recent years. There is ample closet space throughout the house, attic space is excellent for storage and could be finished. Hurry to see this special home! Showings begin Friday and Saturday 5/21-5/22 from 10-4pm by appointment.
