A rare opportunity to own an antique cape home that has been lovingly maintained, with updates that don't compromise the charm and warmth of times gone by. Privacy? You've got it. The location is rural with low traffic, yet close to schools, stores, access to major routes 122, 202 and 2, golf, equestrian center and more. The private back yard invites you to relax on the large composite deck, or under the partial shade of the pergola. New roof! Two driveways and a garage! And inside, you'll find 5 fireplaces, exposed beams, brick flooring in kitchen, 1st floor laundry, recently-remodeled 1/2 bath, storage nooks galore, original pine floors, some original door and cabinet hardware, new built-in book shelves. It's a gem! This home has to be seen to be fully appreciated. Don't wait to call for your appointment! This one WILL NOT LAST!
Colonial era (circa 1770) cape with large ell nestled on a lightly traveled street in South Athol. Nice, private, quiet yard. Many antique features remain -- this one hasn't lost its charm. The structure and systems appear to have been conscientiously upgraded -- modern systems and concrete foundation work are noteworthy. Detached 1 car garage. Although very livable as is -- apply some minor cosmetic sprucing and you'll have a beautiful home. Attractively priced well below assessed value.
