This historic home, circa 1765, is a charming cape in need of some TLC that comfortably overlooks the Canterbury Green and is within walking distance of the Prudence Crandall Museum. It blends historic character with modern day convenience such as a grand Quaker wood stove with 2 built-in Frigidaire ovens in its amazing kitchen. An adjacent pantry/laundry/mud room could be perfect for a half bath addition. The dining & living rooms each have a wood-burning fireplace. A master bedroom with a walk-in closet and an adjacent full bath with a new shower tub unit complete the main floor. Two modest sized bedrooms are located on the upper level. A door off the kitchen leads to a screened in porch and fenced in back yard where extensive perennials and a fish pond await attention. New septic tank installed in 2003. Property being sold "AS IS"
