About This Home
As of June 2023This Historical Victorian Home, also known as the Currier family home, is tucked away on a hill with over an acre of beautiful land surrounding. Step back in time to true quality craftsmanship etched with wainscoting and unbelievable woodwork throughout. Each room has been meticulously redone to capture the feel of the glorious 1800's. In fact only 6 families have owned this property since 1806, including one of own U.S. Congressmen! This home has many opportunities to utilize as either an in-law living quarters (with basement having a kitchenette, family room, bedroom, etc). or to rent for passive income! With 4 spacious bedrooms and den/bedroom on main level, this accommodates all family sizes! The attention to detail is breathtaking! From chandeliers in every room, accented millwork on the ceilings, to the upgraded vintage kitchen, this is the definition of originality! Enjoy some relaxation on your front porch with a coffee/tea or head over to the garden set adjacent to the home. The massive backyard is set to entertain any family/friend party! This piece of history is indescribable and won't do justice with words. This is a must see! Located near the express for easy access and minutes from the school and all restaurants and shopping! Exterior touch up painting will be done in the 1-2 weeks.
