About This Home
SELLERS ARE MOTIVATED AND HAVE A HOME THEY ARE PURCHASING! Experience the freedom and privacy of country living at 515 Old Fire Tower Rd in Capon Bridge. Set on 20 acres along a private road, this impressive property offers space, flexibility, and thoughtful upgrades throughout. The home offers three levels of living space, including 6 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, along with a 2-car garage, providing plenty of room for large households, multi-generational living, or hosting guests. The home has been extensively remodeled and features a new roof with 50-year architectural shingles, updated electric panels (2018), aluminum siding and flashing, and 7 Gbps fiberoptic internet for modern connectivity even in a private country setting. Inside, the chef-inspired kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, showcasing custom cabinetry, granite and end-grain oak butcher block countertops, Shaw’s “Lancaster” fireclay sink, Allia French deep fireclay sink, solid brass hardware and pot filler, new wiring and plumbing, two GE Café propane ranges with double ovens (four ovens total), and two dishwashers. Throughout the home you’ll find a blend of new and original solid oak flooring, durable porcelain thru-body tile, and new Stainmaster PetProtect carpeting with premium padding and moisture barrier. A large laundry room with new washers and a dryer is complemented by a second washer hookup in the utility room for added convenience. Comfort and character come together with multiple heating options including a Vermont Castings fireplace insert, a wood stove on the second floor, and a coal/wood stove on the first floor, allowing the home to be heated with wood or coal if desired. Two full brick chimneys add both charm and function. Beyond the home, the property truly shines with a detached Industrial Office/lab/workshop offering 3,500 square feet. The building is wired to accommodate three 200-amp breakers, providing incredible flexibility for future commercial use (veterinary clinic, office space, lab, storage), serious hobbyists, or a large-scale workshop. It could also be transformed into an impressive guest house, studio, or recreational space, depending on your vision. Outside, enjoy two porches overlooking peaceful surroundings filled with wild blueberries and a variety of fruit trees, including apple, peach, cherry, and pear. With open space, wooded areas, and a chicken coop already in place, the land is ideal for gardening, homesteading, outdoor recreation, or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of the countryside.
