THIS LOVINGLY MAINTANED NEW ENGLAND HOME offers historic character and modern comfort enhanced by today’s amenities.

Family room features a Jøtul enamel gas stove and built-ins and living room has an enamel gas fireplace set into a stone hearth. Optional 1st floor bedroom is a plus for some. New Fuji septic system, public water, expanded electric panel, and a high-efficiency new Lennox hot-air furnace are just a few of the notable upgrades. The exterior includes durable fiber-cement clapboard siding for worry-free longevity. Rebuilt chimney tops, upgraded insulation, and Harvey windows throughout. Garage offers room for cars, hobbies, and toys. Cedar-fenced backyard oasis with a two-person hot tub, stamped concrete patio, abundant perennial gardens, grape vines and fruit trees, and mature landscaping that bursts with color from spring through fall.
