Circa 1844 situated on 3+/- acres of cleared land. The dignity, mystery, and excitement of this American Colonial needs to be restored, but it'll be worth the effort. Exterior of brick and stone, multiple fireplaces with an abundance of wide board floors. Several outbuildings, carriage shed, barn/stable and a second small barn. This home sets nicely back from the road and has a lovely side porch. The grounds are dotted with stone walls and mature sugar maples. There is plenty of space for chickens and a garden. There is no doubt this would be a labor of love to restore this property to its original grandeur. Are you that skilled artisan ... someone with that kind of patience and vision to take on this project? This is a once in a lifetime opportunity with an asking price that reflects and supports your ability to dream.
