Step into a rare blend of historic character and modern renovation at this remarkable property dating back to circa 1800. Over the past two years, the home has undergone extensive renovations, thoughtfully updating the interior while preserving the timeless charm you simply can't recreate. Set against beautiful rolling views, the property features open pasture land and multiple buildings, offering endless possibilities for hobby farming, workshops, storage, or future expansion. The setting is peaceful and scenic — the kind of place where mornings start slow and sunsets steal the show. While the interior renovations are largely complete, the exterior still offers an opportunity for finishing touches, allowing the next owner to add value and personalize the final details to their taste.
