Welcome to the Eber S. Fay House on prestigious Sears Road. The 10 room antique farmhouse offers 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and a Bonus Room on 1.38 desirable acres. It abuts 125+ acres of St. Marks land for walking, biking, and cross country skiing. The large eat-in-kitchen is the center of the home and features solid wood cabinets with glass inserts, gas stove, island, and leathered granite countertops. The property has seen extensive updates by its current owners including 20 new windows, installation of two mini-split ductless heating/cooling, creation of a kids play area,and extensive landscaping, yet maintains the home's original details. The home also has updated electrical, natural gas heat, and town water. There is a deck off the kitchen to watch the sun set, and a new blue stone patio for a fire on a cool night in the backyard. There's a small barn perfect for chickens or goats with a fully fenced garden area, and a large barn with a 30x30 loft space...an amazing property.
