It has hardwood floors, classic moldings, and a walk-up attic with lots of storage. With just a bit of cosmetic updating the interior of this home will be truly beautiful. This property is just steps from Hinkley Park, a 50 acres SP Land Trust Preserve with 2 ponds. The yard has been maintained without the use of pesticides or fertilizers for more than 20 years and was certified as a Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Association and continues to follow their guidelines. As you sit on the rear deck you have a view of trees and plantings that give you the feeling of being in a lovely country spot. The backyard is large and contains a wilder area that is habitat for many birds, animals and other wildlife and supports a healthy and balanced green space and also has a smaller mowed area. There are many fruit bushes including blueberries, raspberries, grapes, apples and quinces. The mix of plants stay green all summer and thrive without needing to be watered. In May it is studded with violets, and with daisies in June. The esplanade in front of the home is planted with lilies, iris, hosta and other perennials, which add beauty and privacy. Both side yards also have plantings with mowed paths connecting front to the back. Plants all around the property provide blooms continuously throughout spring, summer and fall. The home is mainly heated with an energy efficient heat pump that also cools the house on hot summer days and there is a gas furnace with gravity steam heat for backup. The home's water is heated using an on-demand gas Rinnai heater. These systems all help to reduce the use of electricity and gas, providing a low carbon profile and nature friendly environment to live in.
