Nestled close to town, this captivating 1839 vintage home offers a unique blend of historical charm and modern functionality. The original eyebrow colonial features a first-level primary bedroom and a legal in-home office, complemented by wide board floors, original beams, and a striking stone and brick fireplace. A three-story barn, presenting an opportunity for a two-bay garage and storage, accompanies the metal-roofed residence, which exudes character throughout. Inside, a covered porch welcomes you into the foyer, leading to a large living room adorned with chestnut beams, wide plank hardwood floors, and a cozy brick fireplace. The opposite side of the home reveals a great room with soaring 14-foot vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace crafted from handpicked local stone, and a versatile primary bedroom, currently configured as a music studio, along with a full bath. Both front and back staircases add to the home's unique character. The second level houses three additional bedrooms, sharing a bath conveniently located on the first level. Accessed from the dining room, a deck provides an ideal setting for private gatherings and offers a beautiful vantage point to appreciate the lightly wooded 5+ acre property. A separate parcel of land across the road is also included. The gardens showcase impressive stone steps, stonewalls, and a garden shed.
