About this home
Beautiful setting for this 3 bedroom 1 bath New Englander with Barn and outbuildings! Sitting on 5 acres of open field and woods with views across the river valley, this home is all set up for homesteading and raising your own food for your family. Several fruit trees already planted, the greenhouse currently being used as a chicken coop, the insulated workshop with power ready for projects, and the barn has tremendous potential! This home efficiently heats with 3-4 cords of wood and 200+/- gallons of oil per year, and the low maintenance metal roof will last forever. the woodstove is located in the kitchen, comfortably heating the entire downstairs and convecting heat up to the bedrooms as well. A propane heat stove brings warmth to the insulated sunroom that overlooks the yard. Decks on both sides of the kitchen allow you to follow the sun for morning coffee or afternoon beverages and keep an eye on the homestead. The full bath with laundry is on the 1st floor along with an office, living room, dining room, sunporch and kitchen. Upstairs you'll find 3 bedrooms and a finished attic space that is great for walk in storage, craft/hobby room etc. The full basement is clean and functional, and can be accessed from the interior stairs or from the walkout door to the attached garage, and there are two carports for more covered parking. Lots of opportunity in this home, come take a look and see if it works for you! 4/10 open house is cancelled.
