Charming 1778 Antique Cape, which is one of the oldest houses in Pomfret, situated on 2.90 acres in the Pomfret hills. This home is at the end of a dead end road with excellent privacy and has historically been used seasonally (not in the winter). A new 2 bedroom capacity septic system was installed in 2019. New well in 2000. New standing seam roof in 2004. Mostly new windows in 2007. Filled with period details, wide pine floors, and exposed beams, this home is waiting for your finishing touches - and central heating! Cozy country kitchen flows into a spacious dining room with Woodstock Soapstone woodstove to keep it warm and cozy during the shoulder seasons. Expansive living room with new replacement windows, built-in book shelves, and amazing mountain views into New Hampshire. Lovely first floor master bedroom makes one floor living simple and easy. Loft space provides an extra bedroom, space to host family and friends, or create an in-home office or studio. Old stone walls frame this property adding to the history and character of the home. A perfect spot for a vacation retreat to escape the busyness of life and enjoy the solitude and abundance of wildlife. Easy access to hiking with an old Class 4 road for exploring. Converting to full time residence requires alternative financing and a larger deposit (no central heat, no upstairs insulation). Seasonal usage makes a cash buyer preferred (or a combination of Cash & 70% financing). Worth the Investment in a PERFECT setting!
