General Condition:
The buildings are offered as is, where is, with no representation or warranty as to their condition, fitness for a particular purpose, or code compliance. The main building was owned by the same family for many years and has many original features still intact, but could use some modernization. Interested parties will be afforded an opportunity to do their own inspections.
The foundation is fieldstone and is has some areas where water infiltration has deteriorated the mortar. Floors are wood-frame construction.
The building has wood clapboard siding and wood trim. Window shutters are in need of repair. It is unknown whether the existing building walls contain any insulation. Windows are single glazed double hung windows with storm units on the exterior. It is very likely that there is lead paint, both on the interior and exterior.
Mechanical and Electrical Systems:
Some heating pipes in the basement may be wrapped with asbestos insulation and there may be similar conditions throughout the house. Much of the piping and many of the plumbing fixtures appear to be original. The existing heating system is a natural gas-fired boiler with steam radiator distribution. The electrical service and distribution wiring may need updating or replacement for further use.
