About this home

Full of character and warmth, the home features an inviting kitchen with an ornate cook stove, comfortable living spaces, and a covered back deck that offers the perfect place to relax at the end of the day. Adding to the appeal is an estimated circa 1875 post-and-beam barn with previously updated horse stalls, offering space for animals, storage, a workshop, or your next project. The spacious acreage provides plenty of room to grow and explore, while a deeded right-of-way from Melissa Drive creates potential for a secondary building site, subject to town requirements and approvals.
