In 1880, Eli S. Hunt, who engaged in manufacturing work and was an Industrial carpenter for the North Village Cotton Mill, constructed this beautiful Colonial which rests on 1.6 acres. Today, you can see his excellent craftsmanship remains - it is thought that the floors found throughout much of the house are American Chestnut, milled on the property - and have the original blacksmith nails. In more recent years, the home has been enhanced with the creation of a sun-filled cook's kitchen with soapstone counters, lots of prep space and a long counter perfect for a row of stools for family meals and gatherings. There is a great flow throughout the remaining 3 rooms on the main floor - spaces for dining, living and any other needs you may have. A renovated half bath with space for the laundry plus a large mud room complete the main floor. A beautifully crafted bannister guides you to the second floor where you will find the primary bedroom with a private renovated bath. Two additional bedrooms and another updated bath complete this space. There are stairs that lead to the spacious attic which contains some history of the home. This home combines the beautiful craftsmanship of the 1800s with updates and renovations for a perfect mix of old and new.
