The house and property have been well maintained over numerous generations. This lovely home boasts five bedrooms and two and a half baths giving plenty of space for family and friends alike. The old-school charm and beauty of the original hardwood floors and immaculate wide molding and trim can’t be missed. Additions such as a free-standing wood-burning fireplace add to the allure of the tranquil and comfortable setting. A sunroom and a scenic back patio mesh well to the nostalgia of this private oasis. The steel-reinforced concrete cistern has been converted into a steel-lined vault/safe room complete with running water, telephone hardline, enhanced wifi, and, of course, an escape hatch. The electrical system has been professionally updated and there is a drilled well and conventional septic system along with an LP forced air furnace and central air. A brand new gas range in the kitchen is also included in the sale.
