Antique country charm! At 228 years of age, this lovely Cape style home is a wonderful combination of antique beauty and modern systems. Located on a country road, convenient to the downtown business area, this home could be the perfect first step in your transition to a quieter country lifestyle! Hand-hewn beams, wood floors, two wood stoves and the original massive center chimney, with its three individual (non-working) fireplace openings are items that make an immediate first impression of warmth and charm. A commercial stainless steel range, energy efficient Viessmann boiler, a hybrid electric water heater, replaced electric panel and newly covered roofs all bring this lovely home up to modern standards. A first floor BR, two second floor BRs, and an extra room provide ample sleeping accommodations, and are accompanied by two full baths. A foam insulated walk-out basement and a 10'x24' deck overlook an open back yard. Outbuildings include a one car garage, a shed big enough for a garden tractor and tools, and a 30'x40' heated workshop that offers great home business potential. A small veggie garden is augmented by a large fenced-in garden. Other yard features are a small pond, dedicated flower garden, berry bushes and fifteen Christmas trees, projected to be ready in 4-5 years. The land is 10.98+/- acres of which approximately nine are wooded. Stone walls abound. Nearby is Cardigan Mountain School. Easily drive to Ragged Mountain Resort & Dartmouth Medical(DHMC)
