It is solidly built with a handsome brick fa?ade and very well maintained. It deviates slightly from the traditional layout by having a kitchen and master bedroom extension on either side of the house which doubles the interior living space and makes for an inviting screened porch between the two wings. In addition, what would have been the attached garage has been converted into a large family room that is equally suitable as a bedroom or home office space. The house features other upgrades from the original ranch design and includes skylights to let in natural light in the kitchen and solar tubes in the dining room, hallway and hall bath. The tubes in the dining room and hallway are also equipped with solar powered night lights. There is also a central vacuum system, a solar powered attic fan, and a new ?on demand? hot water heater. The unfinished basement is large and has plenty of storage areas. It could easily be finished for additional living space.Outbuildings509 Fodderstack Road is blessed with several outbuildings suitable for a variety of uses. With the exception of the two car garage, the rest can be repositioned on the property or easily removed to create more outdoor space. These buildings include: a large machine shed, 3 stall barn, and two generous run-in sheds.GroundsThe 8.25 acre property is mostly open pasture land with a few copses of trees in the center of the property. There are outstanding mountain and pastoral views to be had from the upper pastures. The land gently slopes down to Fodderstack road. The pasture is in excellent shape and is suitable for grazing horses or other livestock, or as use as a hayfield. There is minimal interior cross fencing, but a series of electric tape divisions provide an easy way to limit grazing for horses. Sturdy high tensile perimeter fencing divides the pasture from the front and back lawns near the house and the property boundaries.The front and back lawns are nicely landscaped with specimen trees and shrubs and provide several outdoor seating areas. A flower bed along the front of the house and some foundation plantings form a nice frame of greenery and color around the house. The house and front lawn are screened from Fodderstack Road by a high bank and a row of mature spruce trees.
