If you've dreamed of living in a charming town, a short stroll from great restaurants, theater and shops, this is the antique for you! It sits well back from the road where the 2 covered porches provide a view to the west. Many built-ins adorn this beauty. The spacious kitchen with breakfast nook and two pantries features a newer gas stove and huge double marble sink, and is in the front of the home overlooking the well-cared for row of hornbeam trees, a distinct feature of this beautiful property. With many south-facing windows, the light is spectacular. The pellet stove in the family room keeps those winter days toasty, plus there's an inglenook fireplace in the living room to add to the ambiance. A half-bath and mud room round out the first floor. Upstairs, the primary bedroom runs across the width of the home, has its own bathroom and covered porch! More built-ins provide amazing storage space throughout the second floor. The 2 other bedrooms share a full bath, plus the laundry room has plenty of storage. Up one more flight there's a cosy little sleeping area in a finished part of the attic, with a window, storage and even a radiator! With a brand new roof and gutters (2021), propane instant hot water heaters, 2 zoned central air, town water and sewer and a 2 car garage with a second floor, you may own this very special property for over 40 years as the previous owners did. Other features are a whole-house drinking water filter, and built-in humidifier system for use with the pellet stove. The owners used the pellet stove in the family room to provide most of their heat. It can stay with the house, along with 2.5 tons of pellets, or they will remove both. The front door is extra-wide and is a dutch door. The 1st floor of the garage/workshop is insulated and heated, and the second floor is accessible storage. Some history: The home was part of the Ingleside School for Young Ladies. Called "The Wigwam," it was the location for the first commencement exercises of 1892. The house was used as a meeting hall, gym and art studio, and the flat front lawn was used for drill exercises. In 1903, the house was renamed "Bobolink," and used as the school infirmary.
