Property Description
Looking for some FREEDOM from HOA FEES and RULES?? Store your camper, work truck, trailer, and toys on your own .61 acre of land in unincorporated Bristol! Want some chickens and goats? No problem here! This rare property is zoned A1 so you can create that HOMESTEAD feeling yet zip a few minutes to the grocery store from your convenient U-shaped driveway! Nestled on a HUGE wooded .61-acre lot, this home combines rustic charm with modern updates! Inside, you'll find a cozy log cabin aesthetic with knotty pine walls, vaulted ceilings, skylights, and refinished hardwood flooring (2023). The kitchen is functional and welcoming, featuring an eat-in area, a breakfast bar, a new stove (2023), and a space with plumbing ready for a dishwasher. In addition to the kitchen, this home boasts a front living room and a spacious family room in the back, offering plenty of room to relax or entertain. Two of the three oversized bedrooms feature walk-in closets. A full bathroom is located between the primary and 2nd bedroom and features a cast iron tub. There is also a large separate storage room that can easily be converted into an office/pantry or a walk-in closet, giving you even more flexibility! The recently updated 2nd full bathroom includes a stylish tiled walk-in shower, a new pedestal sink, and a new toilet for added comfort. Convenient main-level laundry means no more trips up and down the stairs! The home's practical updates continue with a new two-car garage, built in 2019, offering ample storage and a workshop area, and new gutters with leaf guards for easy maintenance. The gorgeous ENORMOUS FENCED yard backs up to a beautiful park with a playground, baseball fields, and a walking path! This home also has historical significance in the area, as it was originally built as Gorton School, a one-room schoolhouse from 1866. In 1977, a modern home addition was made, seamlessly blending the home's charm with contemporary features. The home retains special historical details like exposed brick and some original hardwood from the 19th-century structure, preserving its unique character. Additional highlights include central air, a gas furnace, and a dry basement with both an inside door and outdoor cellar access. This truly unique gem perfectly blends history, rustic elegance, and modern convenience! Home warranty included for peace of mind!
