Classic Colonial with Historic Charm and Modern Potential Step back in time with this stunning 1880 Historic Colonial, formerly a working dairy farm and once owned by famed "Harriet the Spy" author, Louise Fitzhugh. Nestled in a quiet and private in-town setting, this home offers a unique blend of historic charm and modern convenience. Enjoy an easy walk to the center of town, where you'll find the Bridgewater Bistro and a lovely park with a playground, tennis courts, and a dog park. The property itself sits on open, level land with an abutting land trust, providing a sense of natural tranquility and privacy. Mature plantings and a classic shed complement the serene surroundings. Inside, you'll discover a home with high ceilings and exposed beams throughout, showcasing its authentic 19th-century character. The rolling wood floors add to the home's historic feel. A spacious sunporch and stone terrace provide the perfect spots for entertaining or simply relaxing. While the kitchen and baths are in need of updating, they present a fantastic opportunity to create a personalized space that honors the home's rich history. The first level also offers the potential for a new primary bedroom suite, adding to its versatile layout. This home is perfect for those who appreciate history and are looking for a project to make their own. It's a rare chance to own a piece of local history in a prime location.
