This property might just change the way you feel about character homes! From the outside, it looks like a well kept century old home bursting with charm, but what you don't see under all the perfectly executed exterior finishings, is the layers of important updates and improvements that have gone into bringing this home into the 21st century. The home was taken straight down to the studs and spray foamed in its entirety, had all new wiring, new plumbing and all new finishes leaving only the original fir studs and shape to remain. The home was moved on site in 2004 which is when the preserved wood foundation was done, a new concrete floor was poured and a 10' x 23 addition was constructed on the rear of the home. Step inside and immediately feel welcomed with its sophisticated and elegant styling, with high ceilings and beautiful birch hardwood floors that illuminate the space with sunshine from windows on all four sides. This is a home you need to experience in person to fully appreciate. From the wood burning fireplace, to the formal dining room with custom built cabinetry, and modern kitchen with maple island, Quartz counters, floating shelves and gorgeous herringbone backsplash, this space is sure to impress. In 2024 the home received an exterior upgrade to include Canexel hardboard siding, and a new porch finish to stand the test of time. Other notable features include R/O plumbed to the fridge and sink, a new dishwasher (2024), one wood burning fireplace, one electric fireplace, E/E furnace ('04), hot water heater ('21), water softener ('21), new shingles ('21), garden shed, raised garden beds, and a 28' x 30' insulated double garage built in 2012. Enjoy your privacy on this beautifully treed lot offering 2.47 acres of space in Unity. Currently zoned as live/work (see Realtor comments for zoning allowances). Excellent opportunity for growth here in a fantastic location!
