    What's special

    Expect the unexpected! A classic circa 1787 antique cape on the outside, and contemporary, open concept living spaces on the inside with all the charm of 1790 retained including a center chimney with 3 fireplaces, exposed beams, wide pine floors and original wood wainscoting and paneling. The original architectural detail is balanced with renovations that were completed in 2016 and include updates such as a large family room addition, newer doors and windows that allow light to stream in, a stylish kitchen with leathered granite, a farmhouse sink, open shelving, a brick-tiled sun-splashed breakfast nook and a huge pantry with room for a full sized freezer. There is a ceramic tiled mudroom/laundry room. The main living area is open concept living with additional spaces to retreat, including a first floor en suite guest room or office. There are 3 bedrooms upstairs including an en suite master, plus an additional office and shared full bath. The exterior has much to boast - the siding and most of the roofing was replaced in 2016; plus landscaping, raised garden beds, an outdoor dining area, and a huge 60-foot long, 2-plus story barn with a fun gathering/party room/bar. An additional shed outbuilding with attached chicken coop is in a rear of the property. All this, the original homestead of Nathaniel Foss, situated on 2.7 acres, less than 1 mile to Foss Beach!
