Unique in his design incorporating direct, indirect and greenhouse solar energy through natural convection, the new owner will be purchasing a piece of history! Set right outside the historical (& gorgeous) Shaker Village of Canterbury, along a private road maintained by the 6 homes beautifully set here (& encompassed by 500 acres of conservation land at its entrance), this bright, open concept home has a cozy, welcoming feeling to those that enter. It is currently used as a 2-family dwelling with only the bottom level currently rented out to a very long-term tenant (far below market rents but not on a lease); the home can easily be used again as a single family with its beautiful, open staircase leading from the top floor down to the bottom (or use as an easy in-law set up!). The gorgeous hardwood flooring and all wood trim in the home is from this very property. Open concept and beautifully bright top floor has a large, open kitchen/dining area that leads right into the large, open living room area. 3/4 bath has a new vanity top and the bedroom on top level has a walk in closet, too! Mudroom entry has washer/dryer hookups and convenient side entrance. Downstairs has walk out door plus glass sliders in the kitchen/living room area, and bedroom (3/4 bathroom en suite on this level) with large greenhouse window perfect for the indoor gardening enthusiast! Come love where you live!
