Property Description
Step into the charm and character of this beautifully preserved late-1700s post-and-beam farmhouse, nestled on its own one-acre parcel in a peaceful country setting. Surrounded by rolling farmland with sweeping views of pastures and woods, this inviting home offers timeless appeal combined with thoughtful modern updates. Inside, you'll find three bedrooms, 1.5 baths, hardwood floors throughout, and a classic center staircase that reflects the home's historic craftsmanship. A newly renovated kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring French doors that open to both the dining room and a private deck—perfect for entertaining or enjoying your morning coffee while taking in the tranquil surroundings. As expected in a home of this vintage, the floors have gentle, irregular contours that speak to more than two centuries of history, adding warmth and authenticity that simply cannot be replicated in newer construction. The home's exposed post-and-beam construction showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of a bygone era. The enclosed front porch, wrapped in windows, provides a bright and relaxing space to enjoy every season while watching the abundant wildlife and natural beauty just outside your door. Generous windows throughout the home fill each room with natural light, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Set on a separate deed from the neighboring farm, this property offers privacy while presenting a rare opportunity to expand. The adjacent 92-acre farm is available for purchase, making this an exceptional offering for those seeking a country estate, hobby farm, equestrian property, or investment with room to grow. If you've been searching for authentic historic character, modern comfort, and the serenity of country living, this one-of-a-kind farmhouse is ready to welcome you home.
