Craving Tranquility? Love being near the city, but would love a suburban oasis? This property offers you both. Spacious colonial home built in 1839 has been recently painted inside and out! Entering through the side door you walk into a large eat-in kitchen that has a new dedicated mini-split AC unit complimented by an antique coal burning stove perfect for extra warmth on cold days. It also has lots of windows from which you can view the side and back fenced-in yards and open areas beyond where a variety of birds and deer can be observed. A large living room has a new high-efficiency wood burning fireplace insert with a glass front -- great for heating during the winter, but also offers the beauty of a fire without the mess of an open fireplace.
