Description

Beautiful, eclectic brick & granite Cape farmhouse presents a rare opportunity for the discerning Buyer. A spacious house of quality construction maintained and appreciated for nearly 200 years. In the Main house are 10 well proportioned rooms, 2 baths and an attached 2-car garage, a storage shed & exceptional Barn. Set within the city limits of Auburn - downtown amenities, recreation, transportation, employment, education & medical centers - everything is 'around the corner.'
The tiled Mud Rm accesses the main house, garage, backyard and guest quarters. The cozy, panelled Den has a wood burning fireplace. The friendly Four- season Porch/Family Room is warmed by the afternoon sun and a Jotul woodstove sets the mood & adds an alternate heat source.
Housed in a 26x18 addition is an eat-in kitchen. A bank of windows facing the backyard, reveals a farmer's porch & fills the room with light & fresh air. Counter space & storage exceed most criteria! Commercial grade tile, large island, 9 foot ceilings and incorporation of the original brick exterior present a canvas for your dream kitchen. This space invites entertaining family, friends and associates year-round.
Two of the three baths were updated in 2008. Throughout the house are many 'built-ins', hardwood & pine floors and architechtural details.
An independent two bedroomd 'In-law' apartment provides many lifestyle options. Custom closets provide abundant storage! Kitchen,Bath & Laundry. Used as a Master/Guest Suite or Family area. Rental income a possibility.
The solid, 30'x54, two story post & beam Barn has a wooden floor. Lovely apple trees & beautiful landscaping tempt you to enjoy gardening & yardwork. The fenced in, private backyard is great for barbequing. A hot tub, patio, & swing set invite you to relax & entertain outdoors in the middle of Auburn. A once in a lifetime opportunity.

Highlights

The exterior of this well maintained Cape is Brick and Tan stained, wood shingles. The window headers and sills are granite. The roof shingles on the house & barn vary in age from 1993-2003. Two working, single flu chimneys were partially rebuilt in 2004. The third chimney is not in use. The full, walkout, dry basement has an amazing, nearly 200 year old foundation.
A Hot Tub sits on a concrete patio accessible from the Family Room or Mud Room. An above ground (AG) pool is in storage. The swing set sits ready for the laughter of play.
Over the Kitchen addition is a storage attic. There is a slab under this section of the house, but who needs more storage with the garage, shed, two story barn, attic & full basement?
A four room apartment/guest suite with laundry & a wall of custom closets, has more storage than many houses. A seperate electric meter reports heat & light useage.* The primary full bathroom was updated in June 2008 and the first floor 3/4 bath update was completed in August 2008. Mud room and kitchen tiles are commercial grade.
Freshly scrapped and painted the Den, Formal Dining Room and Foyer are inviting and bright. In February 2009, R-49 insulation, the recommended value for attic insulation in our zone, was installed in the attic of the main house.
Beautifully landscaped, apple trees grow next to the barn, a rock retaining wall accentuates the garden along the driveway, tall evergreen bushes & a fence create a backyard sanctuary. Whole house generator hook-up.
* Renting the apartment for income will change the property from Single Family to Multifamily status and must be reported to the town.
