About This Home
As of April 2018Turn key charming Victorian era farmhouse with major systems updated! The character of this home has been wonderfully preserved and restored. Very elegant yet comfortable with large rooms, high ceilings, lovely woodwork, a dreamy wrap around porch, and a partially finished basement. There is an updated kitchen, a half bath and laundry room, a separate dining area, living room, and even a parlor. Three bedrooms are upstairs as well as a full bath. The attic is unfinished but has been restored and is a gorgeous space. Newer roof, newer septic, new paint, new lighting, new oil tank, new appliances. Bucolic setting bound by stone walls, lilacs of every color, mature gardens and fields. This is one of those special homes that you don't find too often. Listing agent is related to seller.
