If only these walls could talk, and who knows maybe they DO! Constructed in 1689 before America was even founded, stands this BEAUTIFUL conventional style home ready for its next VISIONARY to restore it to its former GLORY with a modern twist! While it may look like more of an eye sore to most, the solid structure and footprint will allow you to customize it to your liking. Do you like that old, antiquated feel? You'll fall in love with some of the details of this home, including an AMAZING natural accent wall and exposed wood carrying beams. Currently there is no electricity running to it but who cares, this house was built even BEFORE BENJAMIN FRANKLIN so electricity wasn't even a thought then! There is wood used in this home that isn't even seen anymore! While the old leaded windows really add to the charm and character of this home, newer energy efficient windows will help to keep heating and cooling costs down. There is even wood stacked and ready to complete the backside of the roof. Are you unable to see the vision but still like that this 2.4 acre lot abuts 180+ acres of conservation land? Bring your bulldozer, drive it right through the front door and start fresh. Maybe parting out the house and selling the old windows, doors and beams is in your interest. That can be done as well and there are people that could use them to restore other classic homes! The choice is yours, but seeing this absolute GEM remain standing would be the ultimate COMPLIMENT to this home and I am sure uncle Eddie would agree! Help save this house which is NOT on the historic homes registry, allowing you to bring your own vision to LIFE! Schedule a showing with your realtor TODAY or join me at this weekends open houses, 4/11 from 1-4pm and 4/12 from 12-3pm. Please don't walk the property without an appointment. Property being sold as-is.
