Property Description

Rich in historic charm, the home features deep windowsills, exposed wood beams, and random-width wide plank flooring throughout. A stunning “revolutionary” fireplace mantel serves as a focal point, complemented by a Vermont Castings wood stove that adds warmth and ambiance. The property offers creative and functional touches including pocket storage and a convenient second-floor laundry. Two separate driveways, one on each side of the home, provide added flexibility. Outside, enjoy long road frontage and a peaceful setting with plenty of space to relax and unwind.
