About This Home

As of July 2021

Set up on a little knoll all by itself, private in its own little world and just a short walk to town. The same owner for 59 years, this solidly built home has great bones and a great floorplan is ready for its third owner. A spacious living room with a fireplace and a french door opens onto a large screened-in porch, formal dining room with access to the family room that is surrounded by south-facing windows filling the room with sunshine. A retro country chic kitchen with knotty pine cabinets, dual propane gas range tops, and a gas wall oven. The three little bear-sized bedrooms and a bathroom ready for your remodeling ideas. Hardwood floors and natural woodwork. A newer boiler, roof, vinyl windows, a brand new well pump, and freshly painted exterior are some of the newer features. A full basement with high ceilings and a fireplace set in a perfect spot for a rec room. A whole house fan to cool the house down and a back porch for those warm summer nights to kick back and enjoy life.
