8 state route 55

There is much that pleases the eye about this grand sized circa 1800‘s 2 story village home. Cross the graceful open porch and enter through a front door that is framed with transom and sidelight windows to find a spacious welcoming foyer with 9’ ceilings, a staircase with original detail, and wide board floors. This old world aesthetic continues throughout every room of the home with period wood trim, windows, old style doors/hardware, and bathroom fixtures (clawfoot tub, and pedestal sink) - all of it well maintained and cared for. Generously sized second floor landing and hallway leads to the bedrooms and bathrooms - all with 9’ ceilings on that level too. There could be a 5th bedroom (currently doesn’t have closet) but one could easily be added. Lots of built in shelving and closets for plenty of storage. Several rooms have tastefully done custom paint finishes, which lend character, but are quite neutral. The access apt. is in great shape. It is brightly lit with windows on 3 sides, has 2 rooms with wall to wall carpet - living/sleeping area (15 x 14), and kitchen/dining (21 x 14) with its own bathroom, separate entrance (with covered porch) and is separately metered for electric, and separately zoned for heat. Could easily be rented and serve as a reliable income source. The studio/workshop building measures 23' x 28', is in excellent condition, has new roof, clapboard wood siding, is insulated, has newer windows, and heat. It has the potential to become additional living space, or an apartment - with approvals from the Town. Don’t miss the gardens as they are a special treat. There are a number of raised beds with perennials (hasta, hydrangea, peonies), and a number of interesting varieties of trees and shrubs (currants, lilac, and wild rose). All of this gardening bliss is complemented by a charming garden/storage shed and pergola.
