About this home
This open floor plan, private Dutch Colonial is nestled on 2.68 acres of land; It features three bedrooms (with the potential of a fourth), two full baths, office/play room, and a two-car garage. While the basement is currently unfinished, it offers many possibilities with high ceilings! The current owner built this beloved homestead and has since decided to downsize. The land was once part of an oxen driven farm, now in need of new energy to cultivate the natural beauty of this quiet, wooded lot that is native to berries, grapes, nuts, and flowers. The front of the house has southern exposure, providing great natural light. On the main level you'll enjoy the open floor plan; kitchen, dining room, living room, office/playroom or potentially fourth bedroom, master bedroom, large closet, handicap accessible bathroom, and washer/dryer hookup. The living room has a beautifully crafted fieldstone wall and log storage, with the potential to add a wood stove.
