Property Description
One-of-a-kind treasure. This quaint circa 1790 cape-style home is brimming with period craftsmanship including built-ins, unique wide-plank wood floors, classic details and vintage, hand-forged hardware. Lovers of historic homes will admire the original hand-hewn beams, adding a dramatic touch. The home's timeless design includes a centered front entry, a centralized chimney, and four gabled dormers, with enclosed rooms offering cozy comfort. An inventive wet bar is cleverly hidden off the main sitting room, and two large working fireplaces welcome you at the back entrance, one featuring a beehive oven. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated to maintain the home's unpretentious beauty, incorporating custom cabinets, new wood flooring, concrete countertops and modern appliances. The main floor includes a guest suite, ideal for visitors or as a primary bedroom. The spacious dining room is perfect for gatherings and daily meals, despite one non-functional fireplace that can be restored. Upstairs, four bedrooms offer ample built-in storage. The primary bedroom comes with an en-suite bath and another room nearby serves as a dressing room, walk-in closet, or home office. An additional full bath is accessible from the hallway, and a large room at the end serves as a den/TV room. The property sits on over 3 acres, featuring a two-car detached garage, early stone walls, a wildflower garden, a four-stall barn with electricity and a paddock.
