A winning combination of classic farm house charm, an abundance of space, and a great location! Set just a mile or two from town, this turn-of-the-century farm house is set on 1.17 acres with two covered porches to enjoy the countryside views. Mature hardwoods line the driveway to the house which is set well off the road. Upon entering, you'll notice the original woodwork throughout, from the window bench and columns in the foyer to the staircase leading upstairs and the large built-in dresser in the master bedroom. High ceilings and generously-sized rooms lend a more open feel to this traditional farm house floor plan. The versatile island kitchen has been redone for a more modern feel and is light and bright with lots of windows. The master suite upstairs boasts a skylight in the bedroom and claw-foot tub and tile shower stall in the private bath. Upstairs you will also find two more bedrooms, a 3/4 bath, and entrance to a balcony overlooking the side yard (so many possibilities - bistro table, open-air art studio, screen-in for kids' play area, etc. ). Convenient main-floor laundry. The partial basement is suitable for finishing. New septic system in 2013! Live close to town but with the peace of the country!

A
Agricultural District
The A Agricultural districts provide areas for agricultural operations and low intensity land uses. These districts are composed primarily of unsubdivided lands that are vacant or are in agricultural use with some dwellings and accessory uses. The A districts are suitable for large tracts of open space, agricultural areas, woodlands, and fields. They are designed to promote the protection of the existing natural environment and to preserve, enhance and stabilize the essential characteristics and economical value of these areas as agricultural lands. The A districts may be used to encourage development in and near the core areas of the township by limiting the development densities of parcels less suited for intensive development. The A districts may also be used to protect natural resources and environmentally sensitive areas by preserving these areas for low intensity land uses.
