You will be instantly amazed by the pumpkin pine floors and the original detailed woodwork through out the house and their outstanding condition. Every room is filled with light from all the new windows. The kitchen which is the heart of any home (with 2 double sinks) opens to the eat in dining area and the formal dining room just steps away. The formal living room is again off the kitchen. The current laundry was formerly a bedroom and could be easily to converted back for a first floor bedroom or add another full bath! Two staircases lead to the second story. 5 generously sized bedrooms with closets and another full bath complete the finished spaces. This home is blessed with lots and lots of storage! But at this price you would be expected that would be enough but NO! there is lots more! A second summer kitchen and 1/4 bath lead to several garage spaces and an opportunity to build a very profitable business. The attached barn has 7 dog breeding kennels that are lined in metal and have doors to future outside pens. The floors have radiant heat for pure comfort. There is water and electricity in each pen. These kennels could easily be converted for other animals. Become a homesteader, build a business and established your forever home just a few miles from Lake Hortonia and Lake Champlain.
