About 109 Parsonage Avenue
This timeless circa-1895 farmhouse is a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history, beautifully preserved and thoughtfully maintained by only three families over the past century. Originally constructed by the Neff family, master woodworkers, using locally sourced white oak, the home showcases extraordinary, one-of-a-kind craftsmanship that simply cannot be replicated today. From the moment you step onto the inviting covered front porch complete with classic rocking chairs and charming architectural details you'll feel the warmth and character that define this special property. Inside, you'll find original hardwood floors, rich custom woodwork, and two working fireplaces featuring stunning antique ceramic tile surrounds that serve as true focal points. The intricate mantels and detailed trim work reflect the artistry and pride poured into the home's original construction. Currently offering three bedrooms with the flexibility for a fourth bedroom or main-level den, and features 1 full and 1 half bath on the main level. The layout provides both charm and functionality for modern living. Significant improvements offer peace of mind while preserving the home's integrity. Updates include a new roof, gutters, and chimney restoration completed in 2019, a new sewer line installed in 2024, a brand-new water heater, and all replacement windows. The stove and refrigerator convey. Heating is provided by an oil forced-air furnace with supplemental electric heat. While there is no central air conditioning, the large windows throughout the home provide excellent natural ventilation just as generations enjoyed in classic farmhouses of this era. Structurally sound and exceptionally well cared for, this home offers the perfect balance of historic charm and opportunity. Whether you choose to maintain its traditional character or thoughtfully introduce contemporary updates, the foundation is solid and ready for its next chapter. This home is beautiful in every season.
