Eclectic & Historic Home in the Village The house, owned by Obediah Hadwen (1824-1907) in 1855, feels like a museum and has the history to match. Obediah Hadwen was a local tannery businessman. The Pearl S. Buck (1892-1973) historical marker is adjacent to the property. She was a novelist and won the Pulitzer Prize in 1932; five years later she became the first American woman to receive the Nobel Prize in literature. The paved driveway leads to a side door into a spacious mudroom/ laundry room. From there, head into the open kitchen with custom tile backsplash from Italy. All new stainless steel appliances and a granite countertop make cooking in this kitchen a real joy and great for entertaining. The spacious living room, previously a barn, has been transformed into a magical living space with a fireplace and cathedral ceilings. Two sliding doors open up into the patio and spacious flat back yard. The downstairs also has three bonus rooms: an office, a piano/sitting room and a dining room. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms and one bathroom. Outback, a private courtyard area, is separated by beautiful custom stone walls, a fence and a beautiful brick patio. In the summers you can hear folks upstream enjoying a swim in the river that runs along the property line. Enjoy the front porch and overlooking Mount Tabor and the Veterans Memorial Park across the street. Marble steps, a small front yard and some coffee in the morning make this house the perfect retreat for som 2020-10-16
