Welcome to Beardsley Cottage, built in 1790 and sitting on 1 acre of leased land surrounded by six hundred acres of White Memorial Foundation property. This home is move-in ready, carefully renovated over the past six years to maintain the 18th century charm but with updated conveniences. It has central air, new bathrooms, a laundry room, an office, a main floor gracious bedroom, and additional rooms that can be used as an office or large pantry, or walk in closet. A premium solar panel installation just complete and they are owned with no contracts! Fruit trees, a stone terrace off the kitchen, and a wrap around covered porch provide indoor/outdoor living and entertaining. High efficiency mechanicals, solar power, new insulation including spray foam, blown in and fiberglass, new windows, home automation & programmable thermostats make this an efficient and comfortable home. From the old extra wide floor boards in some rooms, the boxed post and beams in some of the room and coffered ceiling and crown moldings, theres a lot of character and warmth. There is a single garage attached to the home with a mudroom and walk up storage. Laundry room on the second floor as well as a large multi purpose room. There is also an additional two car detached garage with concrete floor and paved drive directly off the street. Basement is unfinished and was a wood working shop, storage and one interior finished "clean room". Potential buyer must be approved by White Memorial Foundation. Home is on leased land with a one year term with yearly renewal. There is a generator installed but it has not been used and its condition is unknown.
