This is as authentic an Early American home as one is likely to find and one of the very rare ones in Woodstock. Although records say the house was built in 1825, it is more likely that it reflects the initial record-keeping: the house appears to a practiced eye to have been built in the mid- to late-1700's. The current owner has painstakingly preserved what could be and reconstructed what once was, from the cedar shake roof to the inlaid Delft tiles in the kitchen ceramic floors. Set on a serene and manicured acre, and retaining a sense of privacy despite being on Route 212, the home is oriented away from the road and features a lovely stone patio at the back. The especially large living room can easily function as library and card room, as well as living area, with the dining room featuring some stunning mahogany paneling. Even the wallpaper and kitchen back splash tiles are gorgeous additions to an already stunning template. Bedroom sizes are very generous. This home is especially appealing to the purist who would love to live in genuine Early American style and surroundings but it can be enjoyed and loved by anyone else as well. Owner, who will be relocating, is also willing to sell the home's stunning period furniture, rugs and artwork, valued at around $75,000, at a substantial discount to an interested buyer.
