About This Home
As of August 2021This farmstead was the birthplace of Julius Dewey, founder of National Life Insurance Company. It enjoys wonderful rich meadowland along the Dog River with 13.5 acres and swimming in the river on hot summer days. In the same family since 1987. A substantial barn was constructed about 17 years ago with two large stalls, five small stalls, tack room and big hayloft. The residence was constructed in the 1790's and has a rustic farmhouse look. There is an unheated mudroom with large storage room beyond. The eat-in country kitchen has a closet for the washer and dryer. A nice dining room has hardwood flooring and natural woodwork. Recently the bathroom was updated including plumbing to the second floor to accommodate a second bathroom. Two nice sized bedrooms are on the main level. A center entrance hall connects to a screened porch on the front of this home and also to the living room. The second floor has a nice space at the top of the stairs for a reading nook or possible bathroom. Two bedrooms each with large knee wall closets and access to a large unfinished attic. Wiring has been updated on the first floor but has not yet been done on the second floor. Distributed heat ducts are on the first level. When accessing the property on Colby Rd one crosses railroad tracks and is the only home on Colby Rd. The land is mostly open with gentle grades. An estimated 75% of the land is in flood plain. The house does not appear to be in a designated flood hazard zone. Two septic systems.
