This updated 19th century farmhouse sits graciously along a quiet country lane dotted with pastoral properties near Hacklebarney State Park. A newer pool complex offers a sleek design with a modern, multi-functional pool house, a refreshing feature that blends seamlessly into the established farmscape.

A powder room completes the first floor. The second floor, accessed by two staircases, has four well-sized bedrooms, a bonus room, office, two bathrooms-- one en-suite-- and a convenient laundry room. Stairs provide easy access to the attic. Outside, the heated in-ground pool is surrounded by a bluestone deck, evoking the feeling of a private resort.
