Lots of historic charm and echoes of times gone by but move in ready with the modern amenities you're looking for, including high speed internet/cable! Hard & soft wood floors and architectural detailing complement the 1860 vintage. Eat in farmhouse kitchen with exposed wood beams is at once rustic and contemporary. Generously sized living/dining room boasts a handsome fieldstone fireplace with pellet stove insert. This supplemental heat along with the core-bond insulated basement will help keep your fuel costs down. Find home office space adjacent to the living room along with a full bath and first floor laundry. A spacious bedroom completes the first floor. An eye catching curved staircase leads to three bedrooms upstairs. There is a fantastic bonus room just up from the kitchen with a myriad of possible uses. An attached storage shed houses all your equipment, gear and garden furniture with overhead storage too. Standing seam roof new in 2015. Large covered porch overlooks the spacious backyard and mature landscaping including abundant lilacs which put on a spectacular show every year. This home is a true gathering place and enjoys a location not far from numerous hiking trails and ponds. Next to the Village Store which has recently received funding to re open! This is a wonderful opportunity to love this property back to peak condition and call East Calais Village "home".
