The storybook farmhouse you've been picturing exists & the projects are already done. Built in 1880 in the heart of Hope Village, this historic Searles-Potter Colonial has been thoroughly updated without sacrificing an ounce of its original character. This 3-4 bedroom, 1.5-bath home blends original character w/substantial recent improvements. A welcoming enclosed back porch leads into light-filled living spaces featuring hardwood floors, tall ceilings, dining room, living room anchored w/gas fireplace, bonus room currently used as a formal sitting room, & a dedicated office which leads to the back deck and hot tub. First floor is complete w/ laundry room w/half bath. Second floor features three bedrooms & full bathroom. Recent investments include new high efficiency propane boiler & hot water system, paid-off solar panels, rebuilt deck, updated appliances, & numerous exterior repairs that allow the next owner to focus on enjoying the property rather than tackling projects. Enjoy a fenced yard, perennial gardens, hot tub, deck, & plenty of space to gather with friends. The crown jewel of the property is the detached barn-style garage with loft space, offering room for vehicles, workshop, or creative pursuits. Property is complete with a Tesla charger & whole house generator. Walk to Hope Elementary, Hope Library, Hope Pond, kayaking & fishing, and hiking trails. Small-town charm within easy reach of grocery stores, restaurants, TF Green Airport, PVD & even Boston.
