112 Main Street, Second Floor (currently available for rent)
This is a lovely and bright upstairs apartment with plenty of space, a private sit-in kitchen, bath, living room and bedroom, although the layout of the apartment allows for a variety of possible arrangements for use. The entrance is from the front main street side of the house. The historic nature of the apartment and its retro feel has been preserved.
There has existed a genuine spirit of community between the occupants of 112 Main and the cottage. We are looking for someone who is interested in having their own private space, but also would enjoy a sense of community. We are also hopeful for someone with a sense of ownership, who will preserve the space as lovely as it is.
The original floors have been completely restored.

112 Main Street, Office (Currently Available)
This is a lovely and bright office which is perfect for a professional. It once was a real estate office, serving in that capacity for over 20 years. I has a very nice, attractive entrance and front porch.
The floors are original and have been
completely refinished. They are historic and run completely from wall to
wall.
There is a small storage area adjacent
to the office space. Given this, it provides a perfect buffer for
a professional who is offering counseling or other health provider. Or a
small legal office where confidentiality is necessary
See pictures below and on Craigslist listing.
Rental per month is: $250 Utilities are included, and high speed cable internet is available for a very low monthly cost.
