The walk up and those bedrooms are where the history of the farmhouse really shows with the original wood railings, woodwork and doors all finished in classic white paint. Upstairs is where some of the homes efficiency improvements can really be seen or more like “felt”. You’ll notice how comfortable these upstairs spaces are due to numerous home improvements. The newer replacement windows, upgrades to the homes insulation, roofing materials, heating, and cooling system, as well as a professionally conducted energy savings audit, are just a sample of what the long-time owners invested in improving the home. Couple this high-efficiency furnace, two insulated water heaters, newer well and well pump, whole house water filter, electrical system upgrades, AND an automatic whole house generator. Improvements that all add up to added safety, comfort, efficiency and lower utility bills! As you sit on the massive backyard deck or walk around the house and barns, you will enjoy all the details in the natural plantings, flowers beds, and vegetable garden areas. Scattered around the yard are several magnificent oaks, maples, and pines providing shade to the back and front of the house and yard and screening from the road. In back, a row of grape vines produces an abundance of fruit which could be used for a private vineyard, canning or just for the enjoyment of all the birds and animals coming in for food.  The big side drive already has an inground basketball hoop for a pick-up game with family or friends.  If you have an RV, camper, boat or collect or restore cars, you’ll find all the space you will ever need. With the larger unfinished barn and the newer, completely finished workshop building, there is more than ample space to keep all your toys and collections stored inside year-round.
