About 27610 Sloptown Road
The Bluebird ~ An iconic home resting on 20 acres of woodlands, apple orchard, and open fields. A historic island home that has been loved by many over the years. In 1995 Claudia Schmidt and Bill Palladino thoughtfully restored and refashioned this treasure as The Bluebird Bed and Breakfast. While preserving the character of the unique hand hewn log structure, the craftsmen had an extraordinary vision of incorporating the beauty of history throughout the home. Each of the 4 bedrooms has it’s own private, full bathroom. The large kitchen is to die for. Cabinets are originally from Pat Bonner’s home. The wood cooler was sourced from the King Strang Hotel. Commercial stove and a deep steel double sink. Refreshing breezes drift through the sitting porch into the spacious dining room. The music room is a wonderful place for entertaining guests, and the library is a cozy place to retreat for a bit of solace. The full bathroom on the main floor is currently converted to a storage room, but could easily be used as a full bath. There are two wood burning stoves in the home. An exterior wood boiler has been installed to provide hot water baseboard heat. This boiler can also be fueled by fuel oil, which allows for ease of use. A new hot water heater was installed in 2019. The 24’x36’ barn has two levels. At one point in time, there were plans to install living quarters on the second floor. Electricity has been run to the barn. Dark sky viewing at this location is incredible. Just a 5 minute drive from town, you could not have a better location for a one of a kind island retreat. It would cost over $1,000,000 to rebuild this home and the value of the raw land is $75,000. This special home will not last long. Seller is willing to sell the piano and furnishings separately to the Buyer (itemized list provided). Seller is a licensed realtor who has lived in this home for the past 12 years with her family.
