Aged with dignity & care, this C1815 brick Cape farmhouse presents an opportunity to own a property that obviously has been preserved, expanded & maintained through the years. A handsome house with quality construction that offers 14 Rms, a 2 car, attached garage, attached storage shed & Barn within the city limits of Auburn, only minutes to downtown amenities, employment & medical centers.
Presently, the tiled Mud Rm is used as the main entrance, but one could use the the original Foyer with staircase entry next to the front Parlor. There are both a Den with brick/walnut surround & mantel for the wood burning fireplace & a 4 season porch renovated for use as a Family Room, warmed by the afternoon sun and a Jotul woodstove. Throughout the house are many 'built-ins' -- bookcases, drawers & closets.
The eat-in Kitchen is beyond spacious. A bank of windows facing the backyard, reveals a farmer's porch & fills the room with light & fresh air. Counter space & storage should not be a problem in this kitchen! The flooring is commercial grade tile. The ceilings are over 9'. The brick exterior of the original house lends character to the room. The formal Dining Rm is freshly painted & ready for your guests,
Upstairs in the original house are 4 rooms & a full Bath that was recently updated (May 2008). The rooms all have closets. Present use is 3 Bedrooms and an Office.
The In-law Apt has one Bd, Other Rm, large LV/DN area, KT & Full Bath w/ laundry. The closets in this apartment are custom! Previous owners have used this as a Master Suite.
The solid, 30'x54,' two story Barn has a wooden floor. Lovely apple trees & beautiful landscaping invite you to enjoy gardening & yardwork. The fenced in, private backyard is is great for barbequing. An AG pool, hot tub & swing set invite you to relax and entertain outdoors in the middle of Auburn.

The exterior of this well maintained Cape is Brick and Tan stained, wood shingles. The window heads are granite. The roof shingles on the house & barn vary in age from 1993-2003.

▪
The two working, single flu chimneys were partially rebuilt in 2004. The third chimney is not in use. Walk through the basement and be amazed at the 190+ year old foundation.

Beautifully landscaped, there are apple trees next to the barn. A rock retaining wall accentuates the garden along the house. Tall evergreen bushes and a fence create a backyard sanctuary.
|
▪
A Hot Tub sits on a concrete patio accessed through sliders from the Family Room or from the Mud Room. An above ground pool is a nice place to cool off on a summer day. The swing set will stay.

The three room apartment has a bank of custom closets in the large living area. A seperate electric meter keeps track of heat & light for the apt. Access to the barn is available from the Other Rm.
