Serene and peaceful are the words that come to mind when describing this 5 BR country home. This home has so much space that there is room for everything: furniture, hobbies, entertaining, etc--the possibilities are endless ! Picturesque views from the 4 seasons room overlooking the property. There is a sun room, an addition that features wood burning stove, separate exit and main floor laundry. There is a bedroom on the main level that would make main floor living a possibility. The upper level...Serene and peaceful are the words that come to mind when describing this 5 BR country home. This home has so much space that there is room for everything: furniture, hobbies, entertaining, etc--the possibilities are endless ! Picturesque views from the 4 seasons room overlooking the property. There is a sun room, an addition that features wood burning stove, separate exit and main floor laundry. There is a bedroom on the main level that would make main floor living a possibility. The upper level has 4 bedrooms (2 of which are tandem) and a bath with a spacious landing space that could be utilized many different ways. Throughout the house are beautiful wood work, an original wooden staircase and hardwood floors on upper level. The furnace is less than 1 year old. Both roof and siding are newer as well. The carpeting on the lower level has never been "lived on." Nearly all the windows have been replaced. Included in this 14 acre parcel are a 1057 sq ft shed, another 564 sq ft shed and the "foundry" (which was formerly utilized as an airport hangar) which has a total of 4983 sq ft and an 11x11 lean-to. Property is part of an estate and is being sold "As Is." Also available across the road is an additional 11 acres (TBD by survey) which has 3.87 acre pond & mature trees. Asking price is $149,000. Property taxes for parcel 071423300004 are $580.58
