About This Home

As of June 2021

Grand old home with tons of character. All the things you can't find in today's new construction. Traditional colonial style with large first floor and woodburning fireplace. Step up to the sweet mini library and there is a den/office right next door. The crown molding, beautiful built-ins, 3 season sun porch, large windows that allows a lot of light and wood floors. Upstairs are four bedrooms and one full bath. The attic is large and could be finished or used for storage. The basement has a full bath and stone wood burning fireplace in the rec room as well. Newer 2 car detached garage. Lots of potential in this house and location for sweat equity. Property is SOLD AS IS.
