The white house has independent utilities, heated 1-car garage, first floor: office, half bath and laundry, second floor: bedroom, full bath, and great room with kitchen, dining, and living area. Big windows for natural light and fresh air. Brand new tub/shower installed April 2023. The gray house got a makeover this spring with fresh exterior paint - she's a beauty now! Formerly a hair salon, the front apartment has an accessibility ramp, new kitchen, 3/4 bath, and knotty pine feature walls. Keep it for housing or convert to commercial. Rear apartment with 3 bedrooms has a new kitchen, laundry hook-up, 3/4 bath, two living areas, and 3 decks overlooking big yard and paved parking lot that fits 8-10 cars. Fantastic neighborhood with sidewalks to Shaftsbury Elementary School, playgrounds, and post office.
