7005 & 7007 Edgemont Road

Where do I begin.. This is the original home on Edgemont Road, 7005 was built in 1870. . In the 1920's they built a cabin next door for a relative, that is 7007. In 1980, Mark Lancaster, ( Lancaster Craftsman Builders in Middletown), and his family purchased this property for themselves. He completely renovated, restored, and added on to both houses. This is one 1.1 acre parcel, two houses, two septic systems on public water. We have two disclosures and inclusions forms in the documents, to hopefully make this more clear. Both septic's and chimneys have been recently serviced. The owners purchased this home from the Lancasters and have lived in and loved this place for 34 years. 7005-3 bedrooms upstairs with two full baths. The primary is in the rear, has logs and vaulted ceiling and a full bath. It has a small deck with spectacular views to the East. Two smaller bedrooms in the front with a full bath in the hall. The beams, chinking, and gorgeous original floors were recently refinished, the staircase is beautiful. The main level living room is cozy cabin-like. The woodstove burns all winter. The chimney has been relined and serviced regularly. The kitchen is huge with the great view. It has a wood burning fireplace. The granite counters and all appliances are brand new. There is a large pantry area, laundry area and half bath too. The kitchen opens to a covered porch on the deck with an open deck area too, same great views. The basement is original stone in the front and block in the rear. The original huge stone cooking fireplace is really cool. Modern 200Amp electric, newer, super efficient Hybrid water heater and a big at grade double door entrance to the addition part of the basement for a shop or whatever. The roof is hand-formed 50 year standing seam metal with the classic hand rolled ridge. The HVAC is two newer mini split systems. 7007... This was used as the home of a parent in their later years of the current owner. After that transition they rented this home. It pretty much paid the mortgage. It was a small quaint two room cabin. A bedroom with vaulted ceiling and a main room, that was it. The addition in the rear is 15'X52'. It's a big living room off the open kitchen. Large French doors open to another screened porch on the deck and an open deck area. Same views as everywhere. The primary bedroom is large, has a walk-in closet and it's own full bath. This one has high efficiency gas heat and electric central air conditioning. It has a 250 gal propane tank that is owned. This house is not finished to the level of 7005, but everything is in good shape and the space is great. The basement is the original funky stone crawl space, but a great super reinforced block foundation at grade under the addition in the rear. Nothing finished but lots of space. The shed is in good shape and large, grandpa used to keep his old hotrod in it. This is a unique place, great neighbors, everyone waves. They have never really locked the doors. Lots of options to explore with this property. The kids are grown and Mom is retiring, they are off to life on a lake in New England. Thanks, Fred
