Historic 1853 farmhouse undergoing an extensive structural and mechanical restoration on 1.7 acres in the Town of Manchester. Major improvements already completed include removal of original siding, full exterior sheathing with insulated R-6 ZIP System panels, new vinyl replacement windows, new entry and storm doors, rebuilt and parged cobblestone foundation, and a newly constructed wraparound exposed aggregate concrete porch. Property features a new 400-amp underground electric service with dual 200-amp panels, commercial Lochinvar Knight boiler system designed for 5,000+ SF and 10 heating zones, in-floor radiant heat in the kitchen, and a new septic system installed in 2020 with 1,500-gallon concrete tank and 480 feet of infiltrators. Gravel driveways have been extensively upgraded and an additional 75’ x 95’ parking area was added for equipment or future use. Interior offers tremendous potential with original character still intact including wide plank flooring, large rooms, multiple staircases, and a fully sealed 11’ x 17’ root cellar/storage area beneath the kitchen complete with shelving, drainage system, concrete floor, and automatic dehumidifier. Several sill beams have also been replaced. Per owner, additional 1000+ sq feet of unfinished living space off the back of house. An exceptional opportunity for contractors, restoration enthusiasts, investors, or buyers seeking a large historic home with substantial infrastructure work already completed. Remaining renovation work will allow the next owner to finish to their own vision. This property is being sold As Is.
