$899,000 This 1850's antique family home sits on around nine acres of hills and valleys overlooking Mill Pond and bordering Boston Brook. The Mill was a working mill for many years until the fire one Halloween night burned it to the ground. All that remains are the walls that dammed Mill Pond and the sluiceway. The views of the pond and Boston Brook, from the house, are alive with wildlife in an ever changing landscape of ducks and geese and naturalized bird habitat. The land is home to deer, fox, muskrat, and an occasional coyote. This property is a nature lovers paradise. The main portion of the house was built around 1850 and features wide pine floors in some of the rooms. There are three bedrooms in the main house and one bedroom in the apartment. The kitchen is a working kitchen, with room for the family to eat in at the kitchen table. There is a formal dining room next to the kitchen and directly off the living room. Both the living room and dining room have views to Mill Pond. On the other side of the kitchen is a new addition with a fireplace and great expanse of glass overlooking the pond and brook. It has been used in recent years as the family room and TV room. Behind the dining room and off the kitchen to the rear of the house is a work room that has been used for office, with bathroom and laundry. The apartment is over the garage and consists of one large cathedral ceiling room to the view side, and a bedroom and bathroom to the rear of the building. There is an outside deck with stairs to the ground level. The interior stairwell leads to the family room. The grounds around the house have mature plantings and shrubbery as well as walls and perennial garden areas, and flowering trees. The house is serviced by a well that was drilled on September of 1997 and produces just under five gallons per minute. The septic is in the process of having the Title V inspection done, and that will be available soon. The heat is oil with a 550 gallon oil tank in the basement area. Hot water is from the boiler in the basement. The electrical system was upgraded in the 1990's. The area of Middleton has many multi million dollar homes, the highlight of these, on the opposite side of Mill Pond, in a subdivision called Smith Farm. There may be the potential to sub divide the nine acres, but this would require the engineering, wet lands demarcation, and surveys and town approvals all requisite to sub division by-laws. This home is worthy of your consideration and can be seen with a call to either Nelson or Madeline. We would like to give the tenant in the apartment 24 hours notice to show the space, yet the main house can be shown on short notice. |
