Listing broker remarks

Colonial Charmer 1802 -Welcome to the Historic District of Hortonville. This one-of-a-kind Sherman House beautifully blends the original architecture with thoughtful additions. The home boasts 5 fireplaces, a new roof, and heating system. Appreciate a new A list water heater delivering to the updated Carrera Marble bathrooms. All new appliances can be enjoyed throughout. This home is steeped in rich history, belonging to the Underground Railroad network. Feel the history when you gaze into the brick beehive oven in perfect condition after 224 years. The just refinished wide plank floors are most certainly the widest you may have ever seen. Enjoy reading fireside in your private and charming library with views of the expansive corner lot. The lot features a magnificent puddingstone and plenty of room to play for hours. Call this home and you are close to the Ice Cream Barn. Enjoy the delightful pastoral sights daily and become a part of the rich history.— The Greene Realty Group
