| Overview: |
Located in one of the most picturesque areas of Mabou/Inverness near the Glenora Inn and Distillery, this century home has been mostly renovated including new plumbing, wiring, windows and flooring. The overall effect is a genteel atmosphere with the ground floor open and the second floor divided into bed rooms and office. The front deck provides a pleasant sun porch across the entire house with access on either side. The barn is in need of attention but salvageable. The new septic tank and dispersal filed removes any concerns about the utility of this important aspect of the property, and while there is a new furnace in the basement for the established hot water baseboard heat, the furnace requires installation. The basement is dry (the house having been raised and the concrete basement brand new) and lends itself to being finished as additional bedroom, a family room, or whatever. (large additional acreage available)
