Ancestral home for sale

Oral history says it was two houses joined together, so the framing probably has some surprises.

The kitchen needs work. Its layout is horrible.

There is a cool cabinet that passes through from the kitchen to the dining room and has drawers that slide both to the kitchen and the dining room, and cabinet doors on both the dining room side and the kitchen side. You would want to figure out a way to save that, but you'd want to gut the rest of the kitchen and pantry and start over.

It used to have a huge bat infestation problem in the attic, but I understand my cousin got rid of them and sealed the attic framing with shellac to get rid of the musty smell the bats left behind.

The well works well, and septic is good. Heating is good. Oil. No AC. Electrical was updated about 20 years ago from a tiny old fuse box to circuit breakers and mostly new wiring.

My one cousin and her husband are both certain that it's haunted. For real. They claim to have witness ghosts on numerous occasions. Too many to count. They even brought in some ghost hunters from a nearby university club. But I've never witnessed anything, even living there for a few months. I'm pretty skeptical when it comes to ghosts. Maybe you have to believe for them to reveal themselves to you. So maybe it's haunted, if you believe in that sort of thing.
