Description
Antique charmer in the village of East Dorset was originally built in the 1850s by famous lumberman, F.G. Harwood. An addition was added in 1900, followed by several improvements over time the colonial farmhouse boasts approximately 3,861 sq. ft. including an oversized two car garage all on 1.1 acres. With a sprawling footprint that features a primary bedroom suite with oversized closet, 4 additional bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, a formal dining room, large living room as well as front parlor.The large kitchen with a center island, 6 burner gas range opens to a deck patio on one side and the large garage on the other. Most of the wood floors are Brazilian cherry, combined with antique maple upstairs, and pale bamboo in the primary suite. Newly installed updated septic system with permits for 5 bedrooms July 2026. There is a feel of the rambling farmhouse in this home, artfully combined with the contemporary elements and comforts. Just 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.
