Description

Immaculate Federalist-era home circa 1890 with timeless charm and modern updates. Situated on 1.75 acre level lot, this stunning residence showcases hardwood floors throughout. The 1st floor features an eat-in kitchen, totally remodeled in 2020, complete with stainless steel appliances & granite counters. The L-shaped living room has natural light streaming in through a beautiful bay window. The 1st floor offers a versatile bedroom, currently used as an office, a den, and a full bathroom, providing flexibility. You will find 5 bedrooms & a spacious walk-in closet on the second floor. One of the strengths of this property is the diversity of heating systems. Traditional oil burner which supplies the 2 zone system. Two heat pumps supply mini splits on the 1st floor & a more traditional ducted system on the 2nd floor for additional heating and summer-time cooling. The living room has a pellet stove insert (35,000 BTU). This allows matching your heating source with the most favorable winter market conditions. Oversized 2 car garage. Some of the 2022 and 2023 upgrades are: Installed 22 kv Generac and two owned propane tanks that can power the entire home. * Blown insulation for entire attic * Installed 2 heat pumps, mini splits on 1st floor and ductwork & 2 airhandlers in attic * Installed new Zoeller primary sump pump, backup sump, high level alarm & new pits in basement* Encapsulted basement crawl space & installed commercial grade dehumidifier that pumps outside
