Property Description
One of the oldest houses in a Franklin Township historic district inhabited by proud and conscientious owners, this circa 1850 Victorian enchants passers-by with its white picket fence, freshly painted front porch and grand double door entry with arched panels and delicately etched glass. A brick pathway leads to a covered side patio, charming garden shed and the deep backyard. The .30-acre double lot includes a 3-bay garage with abundant storage - completely hidden from the street. Inside, wood floors in various decorative patterns grace the first floor. Multiple French doors lend optional privacy to the living room adorned with a handsome mantle and warmed by a wood stove. The dining room is perhaps the impressive space due to a graceful central archway, built-in china cupboard and herringbone laid floor. An office with built-in desk and the sky-lit kitchen with breakfast nook and laundry adjoin. A full bath with easy-access shower serves the first floor, including a flexible family room/bedroom. Some wonderful improvements have been made including a Main roof replacement in 2006, Garage roof in 2012, conversion to public sewer, and an entire electrical system upgrade in 1990. Set in the bucolic farmlands of Franklin Township and offering acres of protected parklands with miles of hiking trails and fishing ponds. Historically preserved and well-regarded Griggstown Farm can be found a few miles down where one can join their Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program designed to offer customers fresh, local, naturally-grown produce at an affordable cost.
