Description

They simply don’t build them like this anymore—and fortunately, you don’t have to live with 1910 plumbing and wiring to enjoy all that vintage charm! Lovingly restored and impeccably maintained, this delightful home blends the character of a bygone era with the updates today’s buyers expect.

From the fabulous covered front porch spanning the width of the home to the high ceilings, generous room sizes and abundance of windows, this home is warm, bright and welcoming from the moment you step inside. Since purchasing the property in 2013, the owner has thoughtfully updated virtually every major component, including water and plumbing lines throughout, electrical wiring and upgraded panel, windows, roofs on both the house and garage, beautiful wood flooring, and a fabulous kitchen and baths. Even better, the HVAC systems were replaced in 2023 and 2024.

The charm continues outside with a rear deck overlooking the spacious backyard, while a staircase to the floored attic provides plenty of additional storage. And then there’s the detached garage—far more than a place to park the car. Complete with a workshop, air conditioning, internet and stairs to a loft area, it offers terrific possibilities for a home office, studio, hobby space or simply a very enviable workshop. Currently serviced by a private well, the property is located along the planned Bristol Road public water main project and will be connected to the public water system at no charge to the homeowner. In the meantime, free drinking water is provided by the municipal authority.

Beautifully restored, meticulously cared for and absolutely loaded with character, this is the rare older home that lets you enjoy the charm without inheriting a century’s worth of projects. Just unpack and enjoy.
