Single dwelling for multi generational living. Possible in law quarters. The Kennedy House. A piece of history, stands tall and strong, welcoming the new homeowner home. Thick stone walls have been repointed and wood beams exposed. The second kitchen creates the opportunity for a multi-generational family, to each have their own level and space. Main floor has a kitchen/dining with huge stone fireplace with pellet stove and mantel. A Large Living room that could transition to a main floor bedroom. Full bath with laundry hookup and a bedroom/bonus room that also could be a mudroom.
The second floor has the same layout including kitchen with upgraded stainless steel range hood, a hinged counter top in front of the window, self closing cabinets and drawers, stone fireplace and gas insert, dining area with a movable island, family room, bedroom and full bath with laundry where washer and dryer are included.
The third floor is a finished attic with heat/air condition and exposed beams. Used as a bedroom. There are storage cubbies along the side, using repurposed wood from the house for doors and railings. Bring your own ideas. Wiring is in place and mostly tucked away for modern technology.
The basement has a secret, that actually is in plain view. The header and entrance to the tunnel leading to the former Rising Sun Inn is distinct to the curious looker. It's been filled in with stone, years ago and white washed along with the rest of the basement. There are two more walk in fireplaces, no longer in use, but part of the history. New hot water heater, well pump and dehumidifiers are found there. A bilco door make life easier for basement storage.
New side walks lead to the wrap around porch that extends around two full sides of the house and is covered with a new Amish built roof. There is also a side porch, with a hand rail. A gated fence surrounds the yard.
There have been many upgrades to this home as of 2015, porch roof, electric wiring and panel, light fixtures through out, two new kitchens, a ductless Mini Split for heating and air condition on all three floors, all plumbing, two new bathrooms and brand new hot water heater. Concrete porch and concrete driveway also were upgraded at that time.
The Kennedy House. Notice the symbol of the Rising Sun, above the front door. The box above has me mystified as to what it's purpose was, or who could reach it! Pony Express delivery, perhaps. Built in the late 1700's to early 1800's, Oh the the history; the true 3x3's, the labled rafters on the third floor the whole tree trunks in the basement and the stone work on all levels. And the antique corn shucker on the porch.
The newer shed and all appliances stay. Motivated Seller.
