This lovely 1890s cape sits on 1.5 beautiful country acres with long frontage on the Jacobs brook. The open flat back yard is great for gatherings, games and gardening. A swimming hole in the brook adds to the country getaway feel. The beautiful rural setting does not mean you are tucked away in the woods, this home is in close proximity to a paved state road for easy access in all weather. Less than 25 min to the Dartmouth green! Orford Town hall is a short walk. The owners have made some great improvements. The open, completely renovated kitchen has a double farmers sink, a six burner cooktop, butcher block counters and a great sitting area with a nice wood stove. The first floor also includes a separate dining room with built-ins, a sitting roon and a great library! Three nice bedrooms upstairs with a shed dormer out back looking over the brook and your yard. There are renovated baths on both floors, the ½ bath on the first floor included a spacious laundry. The full bath on the second floor has a new tiled tub surround. There is a one car attached garage/shed, a full basement and a lovely covered porch! The current owners have done a great job of updating. The roof was done in 2006 and 2010 with 50 year shingles. The on demand heating system is four years old. The house is not in the special flood hazard area, please see LOMA with the listing package. Come and take a look at this lovely, updated antique soon! Open house Saturday, Nov 6 from noon to 2 pm! See videos!
