Set on 1.56 acres of picturesque land, this exceptional home with its attached barn dates back more than two centuries. A true antique masterpiece, it reflects enduring quality, craftsmanship, and timeless tradition at every turn. Originally circa 1739 and thoughtfully revitalized, this Colonial has been meticulously reconstructed to accommodate modern living while preserving its historic charm. The home offers three bedrooms and two spacious baths, including a desirable first-floor primary. Expanded living space includes a generous mudroom and private office. Gracious formal living and dining rooms are complemented by a comfortable family room. A beautiful fireplace with an antique wood stove insert adds warmth and character. The attached 26' x 38' three-story post-and-beam barn, dating to 1822, further enhances the property’s historic appeal. Set on a level, landscaped lot—cleared in the front and partially wooded in the rear—the setting provides exceptional privacy and a truly one-of-a-kind backdrop.
