Property description
Enjoy the charm of yesteryear with all the benefits of modern living. This Historic home (Circa 1800 according to County records) has been meticulously updated throughout including newly refinished vintage heart pine flooring, brand new tiled bathrooms with high-end fixtures, all new insulation and drywall, a two-zoned heating and cooling system via two heat pumps, and all-new lighting. The electrical and plumbing systems are brand new. The all-new kitchen features custom shaker cabinets, new stainless appliances, and locally quarried soapstone counters. The home has new wood and fiber cement siding and has been freshly painted inside and out. With 9 foot ceilings on both levels, the home feels grand and features a main floor master bedroom and ensuite bath. There are three decorative fireplaces with vintage mantels. A covered breezeway connects the house to the two-car garage. Enjoy the 1 acre yard full of mature trees and shrubs from the full length covered front porch, the rear stamped concrete patio, or by taking a stroll on one of the beautiful paths. The front path is lined with ancient boxwoods and a specimen Elm tree likely to be 200+ years old. In this home, you feel like you are in the country, yet conveniently located.
