The one and a half story house has a main floor bedroom with ensuite full bathroom, and the upstairs has three large bedrooms, full bathroom, and playroom for the children. The new back part of the house (basement, kitchen, dining room, two upstairs bedrooms) was built in 1994. The unfinished basement has an 8 foot ceiling, two windows and generous space for storage. The front part of the house was built around 1920 and periodically renovated (wiring 1980, heating/cooling 1994, plumbing 1994). The basement under it contains a laundry room with concrete floor and a utility room (furnace, well, etc) with dirt floor. Just outside the dining room is a lovely deck with steps down to the yard and gardens. This home is close to the public elementary school, library, playground, pond and hiking trails. The property includes a two-story former barn presently used for storage of gardening items, camping gear, sports equipment and tools.
