Purchased three years ago by builder/craftsman Mike Behrens, this home has been completely recreated into 1750 sq ft two story cape home reflecting exceptional taste and vision. Using cherry, fir, oak, maple, mahogany and wide board pine woods, the builder presents an amazing display of built-ins and detail finishes creating character and warmth rarely found in homes today. The sunlit floor plan complimented by ample and generously sized windows and the very high energy standards used in the reconstruction have created a very energy efficient home. The first floor offers flexibility as the master bedroom may also serve as a family room with full bath, while still leaving three bedrooms and full bath on the second floor. Set on nearly one half acre in a most convenient Florence location, the rear deck off the kitchen overlooks a very large, clear and level backyard perfect for recreation, orchard or garden. Walk to Florence center, library, river recreation and community farms.
