About this home

Fabulous colonial in Historic District. This warm and cozy home, equipped with a pellet stove for those cold winter months, boasts 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths with decks and mature private gardens. Cobblestone driveway, heated garage, patio and storage shed make this a real charming property with exceptional privacy. Just steps from Abbot Hall. "Not a drive-by."
