Located on quiet Court Street in downtown Farmington, this comfortable home features a large bedroom and full bath on the first floor, along with a convenient kitchen, a sweet dining room with built-in glass cabinets, and two separate living rooms with built-in bookcases. Just off the entryway with its stained glass windows a substantial front room offers the opportunity for an office or music chamber. With four additional bedrooms and a full upstairs bathroom, this home has plenty of space for entertaining and relaxing while maintaining your privacy. Recently refinished hardwood floors and several beautiful tin ceilings add to the charm of the traditional late-Victorian architecture in the front half of the house.A connected barn, now renovated and heavily insulated, encompasses a gallery and comfortable office or bedroom on the first floor and a large private library on the second floor, with a small loft above. A massive cellar has been finished under the entire building, housing storage space, a wood-working shop, a photographic darkroom (which could be easily transformed into a third full bath), and a painting studio. The two-car garage with storage space above was added in 2011 with a heavily reinforced ceiling designed to hold up to ten cords of firewood to keep the two wood stoves going throughout the winter. At the same time an additional driveway, stone wall, and granite wall were built to complement the existing brick sidewalk and the granite walls that face the street. Careful planning went into the landscaping, including a berm at the rear of the barn and drainage piping that leads to a holding tank and then across the street where it connects to the town system. Some great updates to the home involved installing an efficient multi-zone hot-water baseboard system in 2003 and upgrading to a propane water heater and kitchen stove. Gracious & spacious, this home is located within walking distance to downtown, home of UMF. A beautiful place to live!
