Its proximity to Boston, Providence, and NYC makes it an ideal getaway or a full-time residence. Vintage features include painted, old-growth flooring, exposed ceiling beams, panel doors with period hardware, and historic mantelpieces. The interior offers a sitting room, dining room, a bathroom with tub, and a well-appointed kitchen. The second-floor features two bedrooms with an adjacent home office. Improvements include a new roof with wooden gutters and copper drainpipes, a Roth stainless steel oil tank, and an updated heating/AC system. With its historic provenance, this significant home is an exceptional offering.
