The original wide pine planks and big fireplaces really brings out the character and charm of this home. The roof is newer, but the center part between the rental and main house is covered in moss. That middle sun room area has very big unique...
windows that bring in lots of natural light. The master bath doesn't feel like a bathroom since it has a fireplace and big wide pine plank flooring like the rest of the house. The hot water tank is newer, but there is only one for the whole place, but there is two oil tanks and two boilers. There was a little knob and tube in basement, but not sure if its active. The well pump and one of the boilers show some age. The driveway to the main house is in the back up a crushed stone pathway.
