There is over 2800 square feet of living space in this home with five bedrooms and 2.5 baths. The home features an expansive country kitchen, formal dining room and a four season solarium off the dining room that can be utilized as an office or just a place to relax and enjoy a cup of tea or a fine book.There are two fireplaces one in the living room and the other in the family room/den off of the the Kitchen. There is a main floor full bathroom and bedroom with the the second full bath and half bath on the 2nd floor with the remaining bedrooms. All mechanicals are fully operational. The boiler was replaced in 2004, and the roof was replaced in 2012. There are endless possibilities with this home and property with some areas requiring a little TLC and/or decorating to make it your own.
