Benjamin Coit House. This is your chance to bring back a piece of history. Built in two sections, this home is set up almost as a large main house with an adjoining smaller house, connected through a 2nd floor room. The amazing main house was built with wide-board flooring & a grand central chimney with SIX fireplaces that you have to see to believe. The first floor boasts a large eat in kitchen featuring a cook fireplace with 2 ovens and a warming shelf. There are an expansive (over 300 sq ft) living room & first floor study each with it's own fireplace. Front or rear stairs will bring you up to the grand 2nd floor. There you will find 3 bedrooms, a large keeping room, a full bathroom and a separate room that brings you into the in-law section of the house. There are also 2 additional staircases to bring you to the full walk up attic space that you have to see to believe.The 2nd unit was built with a kitchen, living room, office and full bath on the 1st floor and 4 additional rooms upstairs. This set up could be perfect for a bed and breakfast, in-law unit or expanded family home. There is also an additional outbuilding and an oversized 3 car garage with workshop. (Please do due diligence regarding any use other than SF home prior to submitting offer) A lot of work has been done including a newer roof, all windows have been re-glazed, refinished flooring & a brand new well but there is still a good amount of work to do.
