Remarkable opportunity for someone special. This property offers a hard to find combination of privacy and versatile usability. The home is tucked away behind a mature stand of trees at the back of the lot, well off the road. Approx 1.75 cleared acres allow space for many outdoor pursuits - gardening - 30 blueberry bushes already established for you and the birds, and 3 well-amended beds ready for use; keeping and raising animals (no restrictions!); and sports, to name a few. The remainder of the 5 acres is filled with mature woods that offer additional privacy from neighbors and a neat space for exploration. Nature lovers will delight in the animal life here as well, with many migratory birds stopping by in the spring and fall, as well as year-round residents. The solid 1800+ sq ft home has tons of potential to be your retreat - turn the upstairs ensuite bedroom into a to-die for owner's suite. Update the kitchen and bathrooms to your personal style. Apply a little elbow grease and get those carpets updated, some new paint to show off the hardwoods downstairs, and you'll have the best of both worlds, inside and out. See agent remarks for additional info.
