Private setting for this carefully restored "fun old farmhouse". The house was built c. 1820 and the character from that period has been retained: wide floor boards, plaster walls, wavy glass, 2 staircases. Added features include custom cabinetry and shelving throughout. The Kitchen is open to the Living Room with the original cooking fireplace and bake oven...you may spend lots of your time here! It may be fairly easy to create a first floor primary bedroom suite if desired. The deck has a wonderful...Private setting for this carefully restored "fun old farmhouse".

It may be fairly easy to create a first floor primary bedroom suite if desired. The deck has a wonderful view of the old "Cooktown Pond" (now a stream) and the large back yard. 200 amp service, new roof. The wood stove can do most of the heating needs. Great country property!
