*This rustic 1874 farmhouse turned neighborhood sits on 1/3 of an acre, in town. Gorgeous, thick 4 inch white trim adorns the whole home, with a 14 foot vaulted kitchen ceiling, large, floor to ceiling windows, and original hardwood floors...it's a must see. This homes 1/3 of an acre has not gone to waste. Numerous flower beds bring season long interest and beauty. Apple trees, blueberry bushes, elderberry bushes and blackberries live in the back. While a large garden, arbor, greenhouse frame, 4, 4x12 raised beds, and an herb garden reside towards the center. 2 brand new 4x4 compost bins sit along the backside of the garden, and a huge 7x30 foot peony/perennial flower bed borders the opposite side which holds forsythia, lilac, iris, and a dwarf apricot tree.
Enjoy the gardens under a large, maple tree, hosting hostas, columbine, ferns, and all manner of shade plants.
A fire pit close to the patio was built in 2019, and a large wooden clothes line parallels the property line. Enjoy sitting on the patio and taking in the country sunset and sunrise.
