Looking back, this property has many stories to tell! Built in the 1790's by a prosperous local farmer, the house has been a bustling family and farm hub for more than 200 years including its last owners who set up an alpaca farm and lavished care on the 12.34 wooded and open acres. With large perennial and veggie gardens, formal yard spaces and inground pool to make their mark. The 2740 SF home has 3 bedrooms and 1-1/2 baths, a bright and airy kitchen open to a fireplaced keeping room, and formal living and dining rooms flanking a beautifully finished main entry staircase. The house boasts many original features including wide board floors, a bee-hive oven, and walk-in chestnut pantry. Many improvements have happened over the years from a newer roof and sills to an updated septic/well. A surprise is the Buderus furnace (with 3 zones) installed 10 yrs ago. This home has been loved through the ages and is now ready for its next stewards to guide it along to today's lifestyle!
