This 18th century one and one half story century chimney cape has been gracing the Higganum landscape for over 200 years. Restored by its present owner this home envelopes you with its charm. From the original front staircase to the wide board floors to the three fireplaces (two with bake ovens) to the 12 over 8 windows to the warm feather edge board & raised paneling … this home has it all. The two front parlors and “old kitchen” all have a fireplace. The modern kitchen blends in beautifully with the antiquity of the home. An additional room on the first floor is large & could double as an addition bedroom or anything your heart desires. The back & front staircases lead to 2 ample bed chambers. A full bath is on both the first & second floors. The 18th century barn is stunning. This was the home of Sundial Gardens, a wonderful tea garden that welcomed guests, treating them to the wonders of specialty teas from China & India. A kitchen & half bath were added to accommodate guests & for preparation of delicious scones & desserts. The barn has its own septic system plus water … a line runs underground from the house. This business can be yours if you so choose. Magnificent Period Gardens (Herb, 18th Century & English)abound … taking everyone who visits on a serene and magical tour of nature and native plantings with seating areas for reflection. The Tea Garden is presently closed. Privacy is yours on this lovely country lane … a quiet oasis indeed.
