Thoughtful updates include: new septic system, propane conversion for efficiency, updated kitchen, 1st floor central A/C, Radiant flooring in 2nd floor bathroom, new roof & windows, and versatile living spaces & rental potential. Adding to its appeal, this home features a potential for a one-bedroom apartment with a three-season porch, offering income potential or multigenerational living options.

Equestrian enthusiasts will appreciate the 20' x 40' three-stall horse barn, complete with Dutch doors, multiple paddocks, and a two-car garage—providing ample space for horses, vehicles, or hobbies. Previously used as a two-family home, this property offers even more flexibility for investment, rental income, or multi-use living. A rare opportunity to own a historic yet modernized home with incredible possibilities.
