Overview
Set on over 12 acres in a peaceful country setting, this classic 3-bedroom, 2-bath farmhouse offers over 2,000 square feet of living space and a thoughtful blend of charm and practical updates. Updates include, new plumbing and light fixtures, a new metal roof with solar panels, freshly painted exterior, and inviting wrap-around covered porch. All reflecting the care this home has received.
Inside, bay windows in the kitchen and primary bedroom bring in natural light, while fast fiber internet and reliable cell service support remote work. The detached 3-bay garage includes electricity and loft storage. The home also features a new back door (2024) and a recently rebuilt rear sill plate of the foundation—two of many structural upgrades made in recent years.
Included in the sale are newer kitchen appliances, two chest freezers, treadmill, three portable A/C units, a ride-on mower, dual-stage snow blower, basement shelving, and playground equipment. The grounds include a fire pit and a growing orchard with newly planted apple, pear, blackberry, raspberry, and blueberry plants.
Conveniently located just 2 miles from the interstate, minutes from Wadhams, Elizabethtown, and the Westport boat launch on Lake Champlain—plus only 31 miles to Lake Placid and 37 miles to Plattsburgh—this well-loved 1880s home is ready for its next chapter.
