Upon entry the era of build is evident- exposed accordion lathes, transition into a large country kitchen, beaming with freshly refinished oak floors, brick hearth/ wood burning stove, pantry and half bath to the side. Washer and dryer hookups are off of kitchen in the hallway leading to the full bathroom. The main bathroom has been handsomely renovated, featuring a soaking tub, artisanal tile shower stall, antique repurposed vanity, electric radiant heating and tongue and groove wall accents. Lovely wide plank, pumpkin pines floors lead into the living room- home to the 2nd wood burning stove and additional rooms: den or office, and a large first floor bedroom with walk in closet potential. The second level is half story and provides 2 additional bedrooms of generous proportions, Wide pine floors and warm natural lighting. The lot and the grounds are one of the many appeals here: mature perennials and fruit trees, extensive garden beds and ample space to grow!
