Diamond in the rough, FIXER-UPPER: investor / rehabber special! This 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom colonial built in 1789 (town records) sits on a beautiful level .71 acre lot surrounded by newer well-maintained homes. It maintains much of its vintage charm, with 3 fireplaces and built-ins throughout. The original hand dug well still remains inside this home (very cool!). The first floor features a living room, formal dining room, and large eat in kitchen with built-ins, as well as, a full bath and an enclosed porch. Upstairs you'll find four bedrooms, and the second full bath. The property is truly lovely and features a large 3-car carport and a huge old dairy barn. The barn most likely will need to come down, however, some of the wood could potentially be salvaged for use elsewhere. For safety, please do not enter the barn, view from outside only.
