All of the pricey updates have been done within the past two years. New Roof and gutters, new windows, new exterior insulation, new siding, new well pump and expansion tank, new iron and radon extraction system for water, new septic tank and leach field, new 100-amp electric panel, new electric heat upstairs, new electric hot water heater, new double-wall oil tank, new furnace, engineered structural basement supports, new floor in bedroom and a new kitchen sink. Nothing else to do but move in. If you are a history buff or simply love a home filled with original character, this lovingly restored 1840 New England Cape Cod Colonial home is perfect for you. Nestled in the serene, rural town of Franklin, but close to RT 2 and 385. The home retains its original beams, adding to its historic charm. A huge open field across the street ensures unobstructed views and is part of the farmland preservation so it can never be developed. The home features a stunning front door and a sliding barn door in the living room, adding unique touches to its design. The fireplace includes a pellet stove, offering an efficient and cozy second heating option. An original ladder leads to the second floor, providing access to approximately 240 sq ft of heated storage space. The country back porch runs the length of the house with a stone walk to the circular driveway. The majestic evergreen trees a rock garden, a firepit and what could be a chicken house. Next door is a beautifully restored 1837 one-room schoolhouse, enhancing the historic ambiance.
