Believed to be the original tenant farmer's house in the Dorset Hollow, this lovely light filled home, with it's updated floor plan, lends itself to relaxing days by the fire and summer days on the expanded deck in the fenced in, private back yard. The gardens, lovingly tended to by the current owner, lend even more charm to this expanded cape.

Situated at the beginning of the Lower Hollow this property enjoys a paved road and easy access to town.
