The primary suite features a fireplace, two bedrooms, a walk-out porch, a full bathroom, and a private staircase. It also easily connects to the rest of the bedrooms on the second floor. The living room has two glass-paned doors that open up onto a covered patio. The flow between the oversized dining room with fireplace, living room, and eat-in kitchen offers great opportunities for entertaining. The main level includes a half bath and office. On the second floor, you´ll find a full bath, and two more bedrooms. There is an oversized post and beam 2 car garage, that could easily be made into a workshop with the preexisting underground electricity and plumbing. The 1.96 acres property can easily be subdivided along Rte 7 and Ashley Falls rd, or additional buildings could be added.
