About This Home

As of November 2024

Family compound with 5-BR house, plus 2-BR cottage, plus huge artist studio, all on 1.5 acres within walking distance of schools and park. Charming 1922 antique with beamed ceilings, paneled walls, and four fireplaces, plus wide board floors in mint condition. Cozy rooms and lots of nooks and crannies. Huge open back yard surrounded by house, sheds, cottage and studio to enhance privacy, yet all on an in-Town cul-de-sac. Needs some updating but basically good shape and all functional.
