If you are eager for a satisfying project, where you can bring back to life a home that will serve future generations, this is it! An 1850s farmhouse with generous and flexible layout. Main floor currently has a kitchen, dining, living room, bedroom and 3/4 bath. Upstairs are 3 more bedrooms, a bonus room, and full bath. Softwood pine floors suspected underneath all the carpeting.
