About This Home

Live, Work, Ride and Board – A Rare Opportunity on 9+ Productive Acres (Horses welcome).
BUYERS - PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT ENTER THIS PROPERTY WITHOUT YOUR REALTOR!
Tucked away on a picturesque 9.2-acre lot with a tree-lined driveway, this custom built, split-level home offers the perfect balance of peaceful living and incredible business potential. With 1,800 square feet of thoughtfully designed space, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home features hickory hardwood floors along with and a beautifully updated kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an open, naturally lit breakfast area. An inviting all-season room is the showstopper—featuring vaulted ceilings, dual skylights, imported (from India) stone flooring, and walls of windows that bring the outside in. Step outside to a professionally hardscaped 22 x 20 patio with knee wall surround—ideal for entertaining or relaxing in your own private paradise. There is plenty of back yard for family games and activities, as well as a peaceful, shaded gazebo. The owner combined the warmth and comfort of hot water baseboard heat with the convenience of central air conditioning to provide year round efficient comfort. The oversized, attached, two car garage with utility sink, overhead storage is perfect for the comings and goings of any active lifestyle.
BUT, THIS PROPERTY IS MORE THAN A BEAUTIFUL HOME!
Perfectly situated for a contractor or entrepreneur working within the tri-county area (Route 422 is just 1 mile away), this versatile estate includes land, buildings and amenities to enhance many growing and thriving businesses. On-site improvements include a 32 x 30 steel garage with dual 12' x 12' overhead doors, work bench areas, a like new air compressor, a 42 x 34 three-bay garage/shop, and a well-maintained, 24' x 20' office building with ceramic flooring, a full bath and storage(currently leased and occupied). Another utility building measures 20' x 20 offering additional storage and convenience.
For the investor, there’s even more: a fully occupied two-unit apartment building provides steady rental income. And if you're dreaming of expanding into organic farming, horse boarding, or simply enjoying wide open space, an area of +/- 4 acres on the property offers fertile ground, a 28' X 100' hoop house for early season plantings, or just additional open, but covered storage.
Whether you're looking for a one-of-a-kind live/work opportunity, a solid investment, or a peaceful home with room to grow—this property truly has something for everyone. This property has plenty of parking and laydown area for equipment, trucks and automobiles.
The two unit apartment building, with one two bedroom and one three bedroom apartment, are presently leased for $750.00 and $1,025.00 per month respectively (Tenants pay for heat and electric in these units). The possibilities are endless!!
