About this home
Public Remarks: If you are wanting more elbow room both inside and outside your house here it is!Stately century old farmhouse on three acres of land with lovely mature trees in the perfect country location, yet only 2 miles from town. Check with town hall across the street, they say ''yes'' to chickens. Solid oak floors and wide original, unpainted woodwork and doors add charm to the generously sized rooms. Original built-in cupboard still remains in the kitchen and built in linen press still upstairs. Well maintained house has new lower A/C unit, roof, upper porch rail and basement windows replaced in 2024.A must see property!
