MINT VICTORIAN MANSE WITH GREAT INCOME Unique compound on 3 plus acres plus a carriage house with three rental units and four garage stalls. Constructed in 1889 by a master builder the primary residence has been lovingly preserved and glows with the patina of meticulous care. The stately owner's residence abounds with original period detail and spacious rooms in their original configuration yet lives like a modern four-bedroom house with updated kitchen and baths. The property with high speed internet is ideally suited to accommodate a home business. There are an additional four bedrooms and one bathroom on the third floor that are not centrally heated and may be closed off in the winter or upgraded to accommodate extended family members year round. The third floor also offers a large open space that is ideal for a playroom or other recreational activities. The legal three-unit carriage house is fully occupied with an annual rent roll of $40,000. It is a pleasant distance from the main house buffered by extensive landscaping to afford privacy to tenants and owner. Both buildings have recent roofs, boilers and septic systems. The landscaping includes specimen trees along with ancient and modern oaks, maples, evergreens and apple trees. Original beds of hydrangeas and peonies are complimented by cultivated perennials and a large kitchen garden with a cornucopia of fruit, vegetables and herbs. The property, located two hours from Manhattan, is situated across from Lime Rock Park, an automobile racetrack. Noise abatement restrictions have reduced sound to modest levels on most days. The building's solid construction minimizes interior ambient noise.
