    What's special

    Own a piece of history! The John Glover-Schmidle House, originally built in 1710, was home to one of Newtowns first settlers and first official town clerk. Set on 4+ bucolic acres and thoughtfully expanded over the years, this antique colonial is one of a kind! Stunning wide plank floors weave their way through lovely living spaces. The elegant dining room with brick fireplace, wood beams, and handcrafted wainscoting is sure to impress. Unwind after a long day in any one of three spectacular living spaces all featuring beautiful fireplaces. Still working from home? The fantastic office with custom built-ins has you covered. The kitchen features ample counter space, solid wood cabinets, and a cozy window seat. There is a great space off the kitchen, ready to be re-imagined, that once served as a bakery. Enjoy the sights and sounds of nature from the comfort of the wonderful enclosed porch. A full bath, laundry room and wash room round out the first floor. Take your pick of staircases and head up to the second floor. This level features four generously sized bedrooms with tons of great closet space and an updated full bath. All your storage needs are covered in the original walk up attic and second attic area connecting an older and newer section of the house. There is a great, unfinished bonus space over the enclosed porch that awaits your finishing touches! New furnace, whole house generator, and new wood roof. Original outhouse and corn crib! Dont miss this special home!
