About This Home
As of July 2021Once in a blue moon is it possible to purchase a Swedish farmstead! Owned by one family, the current house was built in 1916. Called a farm-and-a-half, the parcel includes 160 acres. While it used to be farmed, it is now in a tree growth plan allowing for some wood to be harvested & also provides a property tax break. The New England farmhouse is a blank slate, not a lot of modernization spoilers, only updates on critical items: new well, modern septic (approved design plan available!), new propane backup generator, and the roofs are new (house 2019, barn this spring). This leaves it open for you to either move in and live in the period for which it was built or design your own decorative updates. It has been lived in and heated, so no surprises there. The square, full 2-story home is laid out just like you'd hoped: large farmhouse kitchen w/pantry, opens to a bright dining room w/a built-in floor-to-ceiling china hutch, then on to - wait for it! - a formal parlor with stained glass transom windows. And yes, there is a less formal living room, & a 1st floor bedroom, wow! Travel up a Gothic-style staircase to a spacious & bright landing. From this are 4 good-sized bedrooms and the full bath. Wood floors abound. Keep going up, yup! - there's a walk-up attic and a ladder leading to a ''captain's watch!'' (Hmm, nowhere near the sea, which lost captain were they expecting?) The 61 x 44 barn is sturdy & built to withstand high wind & hay heat, using the technique of gaps between the vertical boards. You can park a lot in the barn's center aisle, a partial 2nd floor used for hay storage, & it appears there were some sections once used for animals. The 21 x 42 machine shed offers so much space, you'll want to use your creative ideas for use - studia? workshop? endless! The original house is still on site. Used for years as storage, it could be the coolest project you ever take on! Can you picture yourself sitting on the front porch? Then make it happen!
