Antique colonial farmhouse with small barn is offered on a beautiful 5+ acre parcel. House needs extensive exterior painting. There are some rotten exterior boards. Period interior details include hand made moldings & paneling; some finely crafted six paneled doors with hand forged door hardware. There are a few period mantlepieces & beautiful wide pine floors. Just 2 of the 5 fireplaces have been used by current owners, and none of the chimneys are lined. House is sold in "as is" condition and needs to be fully modernized. House is empty; no one has lived here for over 3.5 years. This represents an opportunity to acquire a handsome antique residence; one that needs substantial modernizing; that you can renovate in your own style. Some wetlands at rear of property. Property possibly will not qualify for some financing programs due to condition.
