187 Maple Street

This light, airy, two-story, 3-bedroom house was built during the Civil War, around 1864. On 0.35 acre, there are planted gardens, lawn, and a large, sunny area that can be a good-sized vegetable garden. The house has a large kitchen area with a small wood-burning stove, a living room, dining room, a ground-floor 1/2 bath and study. A screened three-season porch has been added to the house and is a pleasant area for relaxing in the evening. Upstairs there are two bedrooms & a spacious bathroom with claw-foot tub & shower; there is a walk-in attic just off the bathroom. Full basement with concrete floor, and attached garden shed. Upgrades to the house include extensive roof work; complete electrical rewiring; addition of the shower and the three-season porch; a heat pump unit with two mini-splits and the possibility of adding a third; cellulose insulation under the peaked roof; replacement of the hot water boiler and heating oil tank; and tree work.
