When you walk into this home you can't help but see the potential. From the porch columns, exterior moldings and trim to the 360 windowed cupola on top this home is just waiting to be transformed back to the grand beauty it once was. Definitely a fixer upper, but like none other currently available. The interior features natural wood, wide baseboards, a grand detailed staircase as well as many hidden gems like ornate doorknobs and hinges. This property once housed a Dr's office and can once again contain a home office, mother in law apt or another couple main floor bedrooms. The dining room is huge and has an old fireplace, the double living room has gorgeous solid column partition and another wood burning fireplace (both fireplaces have not been used in many many years so unknown condition) The kitchen is small, common for homes this age, however there are many ways to extend and make much larger, including a large pantry. An interesting inclusion in the kitchen is the stove, a 60's Vintage Frigidaire Flair Custom Imperial Electric Range Oven. **In an interesting side note, the Frigidaire Flair was the range in Samantha's kitchen in the TV show Bewitched. Off the kitchen there is a newer enclosed back porch with many windows to let the light in, this old be an area which could be converted into kitchen space (the woodstove in there doesn't convey and will be gone) Upstairs there are five bedrooms, Four of the five are quite large and each has a large closet. The attic is a walk up which leads to a cupola which has windows on all four sides. From the cupola you can see the metal roof which is newer than the roof over the porch. The stone foundation dirt floor basement contains a cold storage area with a door which one could transform into an impressive wine cellar. The barn is huge and has a horse stall and upstairs the family once raised chickens. This property has been vacant since March 2019, water is off, heat is off, home is winterized, all showings must in during daylight hours due to inadequate lighting inside. Property has village water and sewer. High speed Internet is available. Listing agent must be provided feedback within 24 hours and buyers must be prequalified or provide verification of funds with any purchase offer.
