Antique charmer, right in the village! This home's earliest section was built by famous lumberman, F.G. Harwood, in the 1850s, with a large second section added in 1900, followed by several improvements including a large master suite built over a two-car garage. The current home seems to go on forever with a sprawling footprint that that features 4 bedrooms plus an office, 3 1/2 baths, a formal dining room, large living room as well as a front parlor. The kitchen is ample and opens to a deck patio on one side and a large attached garage on the other. Most of the wood floors are new Brazilian cherry, combined with antique maple upstairs, and pale bamboo in the new primary suite. There is a feel of the rambling farmhouse in this home, artfully combined with contemporary elements and comforts. While it has been extensively remodeled, the home is in need of some maintenance- especially exterior painting, yard work and TLC. The house is being sold "as is" It sits on a 1.1 acre lot, right in the village of East Dorset, a short distance to Manchester. This large , yet cozy home would make the perfect place for a growing family, or to develop into multiplex housing with a few units, as there is already the footprint of a duplex here with two kitchen hook-ups, basements, and furnaces. Recent zoning changes will make this home “mixed-use residential”, opening up a host of creative possibilities for small business as well as housing. Great location & excellent school choice.
