Welcome to 56 Main Street a charming Colonial home, built in 1770, that offers a perfect blend of historic character and modern comfort. This corner property sits on just over a half acre with peaks of the Nacote Creek. The first step into the front door offers a glimpse of what's to come; an authentic foyer with recently finished gleaming hardwood floors. A parlour greets you first, perfect for small office, reading nook or as a small bonus living area. The large living area features a wood stove that acts as an inexpensive heat source for the home. Make your way into the kitchen with rustic cabinetry, modern granite counters and a showstopping, vintage stove. We bet you will spend a lot of time in the back sun room with large windows and exposed beams. Other main floor features include a side entry mudroom, laundry area and full bathroom. Head upstairs using the main front staircase or sneak up the back way through the servants staircase. The second floor features 4 bedrooms, two in the front wing and two in the middle portion of the home. A large bathroom with round tub and beautiful tile work completes the floor. Also, enjoy water views from the 2nd floor front deck. Just when you thought you were done, there's more. A third floor awaits with full bathroom and a spectacular 5th bedroom crafted from the former walk-in attic. The spacious room uses all of the pitches from the roof design, giving the room immense character. A sharp, modern wall mount LED fireplace provide a nice focal point. There are plenty of spaces to enjoy the beautiful weather, whether it a crisp evening next to the fire pit or some shade in the screens in patio. The detached garage has tons of versatility, perfect for a Mancave/Sheshed or convert back to traditional car storage. An exterior access basement houses the utilities/mechanical. Updates include 29 newly installed Maple windows throughout the house, newer roof and a removed underground storage tank with all paperwork and NFA letter.
