Beautiful Historic Home in the area of town once called the "Fool's Hatch ''. It was part of the Burr Family Farm owned by noted Artists, Fannie and Jennie Burr. Their studio was located in the upper room of the barn with windows that showcased the extensive surrounding 83 acres of original farmlands. This home is situated on a level lot with extensive landscaping with an abundance of perennials and ornamental trees. The front door foyer opens to an easy flow into either the DR or to the original Keeping Room (LR). Keeping room opens to a large FR. From the FR to A den/office to the Kitchen that has access to both the den and DR. Adjacent to the kitchen is a full bath with a cast iron Lion Leg bathtub and full laundry area. There are two staircases one off the kitchen and the other in the back of the DR with all rooms in the home boasting original hardwood floors. Either Staircase will bring you to the upper level where you can find five bedrooms. A large primary bedroom with skylights for stargazing and morning sunshine. The primary is attached to a nursery that is being used as a sitting area. The other three bedrooms are a surprising ample size for the time period. There is also a walk-up attic if you want to create more living space. The back entrance of the home greets you with a huge back porch for lazy summer entertainment opportunities.
