Exceptional lower Weston country estate on stunning level 2 acres with one of the most coveted addresses: a small, quiet, cul de sac within walking distance of schools, sports fields and hiking trails. This sprawling farmhouse was originally built in 1956 as the main home of a 90 acre peach orchard, known to have the best well around and and was extensively remodeled/expanded in 2006 to blend all of the historic grace and charm with the best of today's modern appointments.
