Exclusive New Price: $195,000

Rare Gothic Revival house, circa 1850, on .23 acres adjacent to a 34’ x 50’ two-story barn with a third story loft on 2.34 acres. Once a cheese factory, the barn is a remarkable building. Both buildings are in need of a great deal of work and are being sold in “as is” condition. Sandy Brook runs through both parcels of land.
