Property Description for 20 Hutchinson Road
Originally built as a wool mill around 1848, it was moved to its present location around 1904 and converted into a house. It was never fancy. The seller has responded to its authentic charm as a theme, using reclaimed, upcycled pieces of local history rescued from teardowns in a quilt-like, 'shabby chic' style. As with the core building, each part has a story. Kitchen counters were slate blackboards; large drawers were bee hives. It hasn't been about creating a museum, but a lively renewal. It's a tiny home, small footprint aesthetic in a generous space, induction cookers for their flexibility and low energy use, a mini fridge backed up by an eco-friendly converted chest freezer in the pantry. Overhead costs are low. The roof is perfect for solar. The garden has apples, cherries, elderberries, wild plums and a Damson, raspberries, blackberries, red and black currants, a serviceberry, haskaps, grapes, asparagus, lovage, wild and tame flowers in bloom all season. Beekeeper's delight, with farms using sprays at some distance and woodland on two sides. There's an existing chicken house and an area where small animals could graze, an outbuilding brought back from serious hurricane damage still needing work which could be a workshop, a store or a rental.
