The roof is ~5 yrs old, windows are ~10 yrs old, the vinyl siding was installed late 90s, the well was new in 2020, the boiler is hardly used (owners used the wood stove so only 1 oil tank full/yr), there's a contractor doc about the boiler (attached) & there’s a generator hook-up. 2 high quality wood stoves by Vermont Casting convey. There's garage parking for 4 cars & the detached garage = 25’ x 30’ x 13’ tall with an insulated ceiling & a propane blower heater.

The property is DEFINITELY SUBDIVIDABLE, Sellers went 90% through the process and plans changed - if this is of interest, ask for details. For financially qualified and very serious buyers, after 1st showing, Owner may be available for a property tour, by special request (not short notice).
