Property Description

This is your opportunity to create the lifestyle you have always dreamed of! You’ll fall in love with this early 1900s sprawling farmhouse in an idyllic country setting. It has been meticulously renovated with many updates done in just the past few months including beautifully updated bathrooms and kitchen with new granite, new flooring throughout, new windows, new roof, new driveway, upgraded utilities, and much more. The newest addition reflects the character of the original house with today’s conveniences. This is an exceptional property with a pond and in-ground pool, and many outbuildings including a barn that was just renovated into a charming two-car garage with loft. More details below…

Original House, First Floor

Front Foyer: Originally the front yard of the house was graced by a circular driveway. This is said to be the reason for the winding path and steps of slate leading to the front entrance of the old house with new wraparound porch and lighting. The foyer has a charming staircase enhanced by the new wood floors in the entrance and the wide plank pine floors that were stripped in layers and restored in the formal living room. The Scalamandre Dublin Panels on the walls and new colonial panels on the new windows were designed to keep with the period and detail of the original house. To the left of the foyer is the formal living room and to the back of the living room is the entrance to the reading room of the library. If you walked straight back from the entrance of the foyer instead, you would note a side door to the exterior plus a door which leads to the original basement.

Newest Addition, First Floor

This stunningly beautiful addition has all of the upscale conveniences of today’s new homes, but reflects the charm and character of the original house.  The hardwood floors are “quarter sawn”, (shaker style, no grain on the first floor), the windows are Pella (true divided light), and the heating system has three zones (one for the original house and the other for the first and second floors of the addition) American Woodmark cabinets with subway tile back splash were added in fall 2016 for even more storage and prep space.
