About this property
Small but mighty turnkey Recession Buster of a homestead in North Franklin! Seller has addressed nearly all of this property's needs and wants over the past handful of years and has maximized the current layout for Efficiency, Comfort, & Convenience. The home sits on New Hampton Road, Rte 127, in a rural part of town near Franklin Hospital, the popular Franklin Falls Dam & Recreation Area, and Rte 93 for commuting. Property consists of nearly a quarter acre of land with a wide driveway that can fit many vehicles. Though small in stature, the home makes up for it with an efficient use of space in both the finished 1st floor space as well as the walkout basement that has been roughed in nicely by the seller to include a desk office space, workout area, a workbench storage area, and has a pellet stove that the seller uses to offset propane heating costs. The first floor consists of a living room area with built-in shelving, a smaller closet, and a picture window, all with an open flow to the fully functional, updated kitchen. Also on the first floor is a large, full bathroom with newer fixtures and tub/shower, all in clean, newer condition. The bedroom is also large, with windows on two sides and a walk-in closet that has laundry hookups if desired for one-level living. All has been tastefully painted and has natural pine accents for a comfortable contemporary country feel. The large and solid side covered porch is a great place to gather and has been freshly stained and sealed. Large shed has been completely remodeled and has its own circuit breaker subpanel and additional storage above. Low Taxes & Lower Heating & Maintenance costs make this home a smart choice for stretching your dollars! Historic, quiet little Morrison Cemetery abuts the property up on a knoll in back of the home, with tombstones dating from the 1800's. Showings start at the Halloween Open House from 10-12pm -- Quick Close Possible. Come check it out!

Questions to ask before you buy
Good questions for any home near the slopes.
- How is the property reached in winter, and who plows the road and driveway?A short straight-line distance can still mean a long or seasonal drive. Private roads, gates and mountain passes all shape winter access.
- Is there documented ski access from the property (trail, easement, lift), and does it transfer to a buyer?Rights to cross neighboring land or use a lift come from recorded easements and agreements, so a ski-in or ski-out description is where the question starts.
- Are there association, resort or club fees, and what do they cover?Some ski-area communities charge fees that cover only certain amenities, so ask what lift tickets, passes and services are included.
- Are there rules on renting the home short-term or long-term?Local ordinances, association covenants and deed restrictions all set rental rules, and they differ from place to place.
- What do heating, snow removal, winterization and utilities cost over a season?Ownership costs in snow country often run higher than the mortgage estimate suggests.
- For land: is there legal year-round access, and what utilities, septic and building rules apply?Seasonal roads and steep lots can limit what can be built and when it can be reached.
