Quiet location for this 1948 Cape Cod style farmhouse on 5.57 acres, west of Winchester. 2 Bed / 1 Bath, country style kitchen, carpeted living and dining rooms. The land is quite nice with half in green grass, the other half thickly wooded. There are no covenants or restrictions on the land, NO HOA. Well and septic, spring house, stream through the front of the property. The owner suggests there are other springs through the property. This property would make a terrific weekend retreat. Set up for full time living, but government backed financing will be an issue with no direct heat source to the upstairs bedrooms (floor vents for radiant heat). Kitchen and full bath have been updated. Mud/utility room with entrance door to side yard and a nice sized kitchen pantry. A rural location, but only 15 minutes to the Winchester Medical Center.
