Step inside to an elegant soaring staircase, rich wood flooring on both the first and second floor, custom millwork in the living room and the first floor bedroom. Extensive updating and RENOVATION NEEDED throughout. Sold AS IS. Newer sliders in the sunroom--an ideal spot to relax and take in the spectacular views. Newer generator and roof. Loads of storage in the unfinished basement. Two first floor offices provide plenty of space for remote working, doing projects, or even a playroom. Five car garage perfect for lawn equipment, extra vehicles, outdoor toys, or a workshop.
