For anyone buying their first home or maybe just looking to move towards a country setting, you've found the right house! Beautiful and recently renovated, this unique property situated in the peaceful town of Oakham has everything you need, and most of it has been updated within the last 4 years - roof (2017), mini split (2020), and new electrical/insulation throughout. The seller had a metal spiral staircase (mass compliant) installed in the middle of the home which either takes you down to the basement, that you might choose to finish (it used to be a bedroom, there's a walkout w/ French doors, the house has a 3 bedroom septic), or it takes you up to the loft bedroom with the cathedral ceiling and exposed beams, overlooking the living room. Other great features are the skylights that open/close using solar power, the attached 2-car garage, and the sun room that leads to the huge back deck where you can enjoy your backyard! Showings begin at the open house Sunday 7/18 from 12-2pm!
