Barn has sliding doors, wood stove and expansive second floor storage. Lilacs and rhododendron color the front yard.

Private drilled well, new copper piping.
100 amp circuit breakers with plenty of outlets.
Septic system is in good working order, 1000 gallons, recently pumped and due to pumped again in 3 years. (new system installed approx 1985)

New structural support beams added this year (14) and 2 new structural walls added to basement.

Negatives: Over the past 168 years, the floors have settled and are not level in some places. But new structural supports have been put in place. And the second floor ceilings are relatively low. Also, the access to the basement is from outside in the back, which is good for storage of farm and garden equipment, bagged fertilizer and grains for easy access.
