About This Home
Step into a piece of 1920 charm, beautifully preserved and ready for its next chapter. This three bedroom home, plus two bonus rooms perfect for offices or flex space, offers three full baths and showcases original hardwood floors and a built in china cabinet alongside a layout designed for modern living. The main level features a spacious kitchen with a custom island, formal dining room, living room, private office, a bedroom, and a full bath. Upstairs, the primary suite shares the floor with a third bedroom, full bath, and a second office, ideal for remote work or extra living space. Thoughtful updates make this home truly move in ready: all new gutters (2023), newly blown in insulation in both attics, and a professionally surveyed lot with clearly marked bounds. Central air and propane heat keep the main house comfortable year round. The detached two car garage adds exceptional value with a full in-law or studio apartment above, recently refreshed with a brand new kitchen, flooring, and appliances, plus its own full bathroom, separate electric service, and a brand new boiler and oil tank. The garage itself has been drylocked for added durability and peace of mind. A three bedroom Advantex septic system, installed in 2014, services both buildings, and the backyard has been freshly cleared and seeded, ready to enjoy. Tucked just minutes from Route 24 and the Mount Hope Bridge, this home offers character, craftsmanship, and an unbeatable location.
