This lovely home on Kimball Rd. represents the classic constructive backbone of New England architecture. Built in 1928, it possesses a practicality in its design and construction and displays a traditional colonial silhouette that never goes out of style.
Its warm, welcoming yellow exterior and inviting enclosed porch immediately attract the eye of passers-by. If only they could view its interior. Its original structural frame of gumwood, eight and a half foot ceilings and powerful bones lay the well-made groundwork for this recently updated property that has also offers a newer heating system and windows.
The first floor provides three generously-sized rooms with a 16 x 11 square foot fireplaced living room, a 12 x 11 square foot dining room and a 12 x 11 square foot sparkling kitchen with fresh white cabinets and stainless steel appliances and hardware.
