A peaceful property on a quiet cul-de-sac in the center of Bantam Borough. This renovated cape with a well-disguised addition has 3-4 bedrooms, office space, 2 1/2 baths, and tile/hardwood floors. Cathedral ceilings and exposed beams give the home a bright and spacious feel with plenty of natural light. The main level has an open floor plan and wide doorways; designed to be wheelchair-friendly. Full basement plus attic areas. A large, partially-covered, deck is surrounded by a full perennial garden bed with easy access to both the driveway and the back yard. The backyard features a 240 sq. ft. barn with loft areas and has an additional 360 sq. ft. of covered storage space in the back. Perfect for lawn equipment, gardening tools, a small camper, or a motorcycle. The "vernal pool", at the back of the property, is a lovely pond 3/4's of the year. Other highlights include a flagstone patio with an in-ground fire pit and a spacious organic garden. Originally a 1919 Sears Roebuck home, one of five on the street, the house retains much of its original charm. Renovated in 1998 and enlarged in 2001 and the house is Cedar sided with a newly re-shingled roof. (Timberline Architectural in 2020). The 200 amp electrical service and wiring were redone in 1998-2001. Thermal pane windows throughout, some tilt in for ease in cleaning. The exterior walls have an R19 rating and the ceilings are R50. The house has two propane heat and AC units, allowing for two distinct comfort zones.
