The renovations include a high-efficiency Buderus heating system, a Mitsubishi cooling system, a metal roof, and lifetime warranty windows. The house is also equipped with three new Vermont Castings wood stoves, providing both warmth and comfort.
The kitchen boasts custom-built cabinets, a brick floor, exposed beams, and a wood stove, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee. The formal dining room is ideal for holiday celebrations and family gatherings. For those who work from home, there is a beautiful library with ample built-in bookshelves and a fireplace.
The spacious family room features a wood stove nestled among exposed bricks and a large mantel. Hand-carved beams add rural charm, and the multiple windows allow abundant natural light. Upstairs, there are four generous bedrooms and two additional bathrooms.
In addition to the main house, the property includes a heated three-car garage with an impressive workshop for woodworking enthusiasts. Above the garage, there is a two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment, perfect for guests or potential rental income.
