Remarkable historic home, completely restored with so many modern amenities added, from a whole property generator, central air, air filtration system, irrigation system plus so much more. Authentic materials were used where ever possible. The walls were replastered, the floors redone. The master bedroom floor was created from a tree located on the property. Many artifacts were found and come with the house. Currently, there are two living rooms but one could be a second bedroom. The septic system is new in 2010, furnace is also only 2 years old. The inlaw building is detached and was built in 2009, it is small but charming. There is a huge barn like building that was used as a workshop, it has a huge loft that can be finished. The garage is oversized also with a loft above it that could be finished. Also, off of the kitchen is a butler's pantry with a second sink and a dishwasher! The yard has a nice fish pond with a waterfall, a plug in for an RV or a boat! This is a must see! This is now being sold "as is" - the sellers have reduced the price substantially!
