Listing broker remarks

A home with history, built in the early 1800s this dwelling was originally built on a local farm and moved to its present location in the 1920's. The structure sits nestled amongst mature plantings and out buildings facing the Mill Brook. The studio and covered patio offer opportunities to entertain, relax and reflect. This 3.76 parcel was created from a larger parcel by the owner (see attached approved WT Planning Board survey). The proposed survey/subdivision plan has a driveway easement area, a buyer, will acknowledge and agree to the driveway easement location upon completion of a sale. Note: The 2025 taxes for this smaller parcel have not been assessed due to the fact it is currently part of the owner's larger parcel.— Donnelly + Co.
