Description

You arrive the way you should at a place like this, slowly, as a long recently repaved private driveway winds through the landscape, crossing a small stream by way of a bridge before opening to 2.69 acres of seclusion, where a beautifully preserved 1730s farmhouse and newer barn are set, backing up to 60 acres of protected land stretching quietly beyond the property line. The barn is a standout in its own right, fully outfitted with water and electricity and offering the kind of flexibility that is hard to find, working just as easily as serious storage, a contractor’s shop, a studio, a game room, or a gathering space built for hosting. Beyond the barn, pieces of the original barn’s stone walls still stand, now softened by wood chips and surrounded by trees, creating an unexpectedly perfect spot to gather with friends or sit quietly and take in the setting The farmhouse delivers the classic look you hope for, paired with thoughtful updates that respect its age while supporting modern living, including a new roof completed in 2025, and a recently renovated kitchen, with rich oak floors running throughout the home and showcasing natural grain, authentic knots, and varied board widths. The main door opens to a wide and welcoming foyer with a half bathroom just off to the right, while to the left a substantial addition expands the living space into a stunning family room featuring exposed beams, a wood-burning fireplace, and original stone walls that were once the exterior of the farmhouse, all adding depth and character, with a door leading directly to the covered back patio for an easy connection to the outdoors. At the center of the home sits a spacious kitchen and dining area, where the recently updated kitchen features quartz countertops, pecan solid wood shaker cabinetry, a textured mosaic backsplash, and stainless steel appliances, flowing into a bright and flexible space that works beautifully as a den, office, mudroom, or sunroom and includes laundry, custom built-ins, a dog bath or low utility sink, abundant windows, and access to a side deck. Upstairs, the craftsmanship continues as hardwood floors carry through wide hallways, past deep windowsills that newer homes simply do not offer, and into four generously sized bedrooms with surprisingly good closet space for a home of this age, along with a timeless and elegant full bathroom finished with a console sink with pedestal legs, a subway tile surround, and vertical beadboard wainscoting. The primary bedroom is filled with natural light, accented by wood beams, and offers plenty of space along with the ideal adjacent area to create a future En-Suite. The finished third floor, completed just last year and served by its own dedicated mini-split system, provides yet another layer of flexibility, and with multiple windows, built-ins, exposed stone accents, and barn doors opening to a large storage closet, it works equally well as a home office, fifth bedroom, or game room. This is a home with history, privacy, and presence, a place where the land protects your view, the details tell a story, and every update feels intentional.
