Read the full listing description
Highest and best by 4pm Tuesday, 9/13. Welcome to 181 Sugar Street, a unique property that offers two homes presenting an opportunity not typically available in the marketplace today. The serene setting of this special property is simply stunning and both houses have been reimagined and refurbished by a local craftsman and artist. No detail was overlooked and charm abounds! The current owners have utilized the houses as both investment properties with great rental income and also as a primary residence. House 1 is a three bedroom ranch with an amazing light-filled great room with an airy vaulted ceiling and new Vermont Castings wood-burning stove leading to the sunroom/dining room. The kitchen overlooks the level and private back yard, and the original pot belly stove now serves as a counter. This home also includes two bedrooms plus a third that currently serves as an office, a laundry room, and both a full and half bath. Each room offers access to the exterior and the many quaint areas around the yard including a tree swing and a path through the woods leading to a peaceful clearing with a seating area. House 2 is a two bedroom cape that was completely renovated in 2005 and remains in excellent condition. The main level open floor plan includes a great room with a beamed ceiling, an exposed staircase, and a kitchen with a breakfast bar. Originally know as the "Red Hen", this property is ideal for multi-generational living, an investment property or an owner-occupied home.
