You'll fall in love with this idyllic, private 5 acre country setting! This is a perfect opportunity to have a gentlemen's farm yet have the convenience of being only a few miles from gas stations, stores, and eateries & just a short drive to Troy and 787. In addition to the oversized 2 car garage, there are multiple outbuildings...workshops, sheds & a cabin w/ a woodstove, loft and electricity. Just imagine the possibilities for this property! The main home was built in 1935 and is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 1,748 sq ft colonial with character throughout! You'll enjoy hardwood floors throughout (mainly oak with maple flooring in the kitchen) and a wood stove for supplemental heat...located in the spacious living room but with the wide door entries, the wood stove heat will move throughout the house! The built-ins in the family room or sitting room also make this a great office or library. The formal dining room features a chair rail, wainscoting, exposed beams on the ceiling, and an atrium door to the side porch. There's an eating area in the kitchen also with a vaulted ceiling, skylight, recessed lighting, and a generous amount of cabinet and counter space. The appliances are included: Kenmore gas range (approx. 9 yrs), Kenmore dishwasher (approx. 10 yrs), and a GE refrigerator. Also on the main floor is a full bath with a seated fiberglass shower, linoleum flooring, single sink, large linen closet, and the laundry area. The Kenmore Elite washer & dryer (approx 10 yrs) are included in the sale. Upstairs you'll find 3 generous-sized bedrooms with closets and oak wood flooring. The main full bath features linoleum flooring, a fiberglass tub/shower, built-in cabinets, and a single sink vanity, and ceramic tile walls. In the hallway is built-in storage and drawers for linens. There's also an attic hatch in the hallway. Additional home features include the updated 200 AMP electric, new 40 gallon hot water heater (Fall 2015), oil hot water heat with a newer New Yorker boiler (11/2014), a full-height basement under a portion of the home, a drilled well, a Culligan water softener, and septic (last pumped in 2015). The wood double pane windows which tilt-in for easy cleaning were installed approximately the late 1990's. The age of the asphalt shingle roof is unknown but possibly in the same age range as the windows. The exterior of the home is aluminum siding w/ some vinyl siding and vinyl siding on the garage. This charming home has several entry porches (newer columns at the front door entry) and includes a large open side porch...so bring your rocking chairs!
