Description

Charm of yesteryear with 21st century amenities. This 1800s saltbox was moved to its current foundation around 2008; completely renovating the building inside and out. It now boasts all the updates of a newer home but retains its antique roots, as seen in the exposed beams and wonderful wood detailing. On demand, back-up generator, owned solar panels and completely new wiring and plumbing are just a few examples of the modern conveniences this home has to offer. Two spacious bedrooms with walk-in...Charm of yesteryear with 21st century amenities. This 1800s saltbox was moved to its current foundation around 2008; completely renovating the building inside and out. It now boasts all the updates of a newer home but retains its antique roots, as seen in the exposed beams and wonderful wood detailing. On demand, back-up generator, owned solar panels and completely new wiring and plumbing are just a few examples of the modern conveniences this home has to offer. Two spacious bedrooms with walk-in closets are upstairs, and the main level has an additional bedroom, which could be a wonderful home office, den or additional living space. Perennial gardens surround the home and a generous raised bed vegetable garden and fruit orchard are just steps off the back deck. Property backs to Fish and Wildlife land, making this a wonderful potential for a hobby farm or other animal-friendly space. Seller is related to Listing Agent
