Welcome to Talbott’s Purchase, a remarkable stone residence where centuries of architectural character meet an extensive collection of thoughtful modern improvements. Set beneath mature trees on approximately .85 acres, the property makes a memorable first impression with its sweeping newly paved driveway, established landscaping, covered front porch, enduring stone exterior and complementary historic outbuildings.

The residence is a 2.5-story home offering approximately 3,451 total square feet, including 3,043 finished square feet above grade, two full bathrooms, one half bathroom, two fireplaces, an attached 2 car garage, and a multitude of wonderful updates and features.

Inside, the home’s warm and distinctive character is immediately apparent. Deep-set windows, richly toned wood floors, paneled doors, substantial millwork and carefully preserved architectural details provide a tangible connection to the property’s past. The front room features refinished flooring and a fireplace, while the adjoining office has been enhanced with recessed lighting and expansive custom bookshelves, creating an impressive workspace, library or reading room.

The kitchen has been extensively renewed with custom cabinetry, countertops, recessed lighting, updated electrical service and new appliances, including the refrigerator, stove, microwave and vent fan. A gas line was run to the home and range. The kitchen fireplace was restored for use with exposed, repointed stone, a rebuilt firebox, fan and updated chimney components, while the wood floor was sanded and refinished.

A beautifully finished laundry and mudroom offers custom cabinetry, countertop and backsplash, a created closet and paneled detailing. Its generous storage, utility sink and convenient exterior access make it as functional as it is attractive.

Since 2020, the interior has undergone substantial improvements designed to enhance comfort while respecting the home’s character. Work includes a replacement staircase; new woodwork, baseboards and doors throughout most of the residence; new switches and outlets; a new electrical panel and hot water heater; and new electrical and plumbing work on the second floor. The former boiler and radiators were removed, and mini-split systems were installed throughout the home.

All two full bathrooms and the half bathroom were remodeled with custom vanities, and the upstairs hall bathroom includes heated flooring. Walls were relocated to create additional bedroom closets, including a large closet in the bedroom above the kitchen. New flooring was installed in the upstairs hallway and two bedrooms, while the original flooring in the larger bedroom was refinished. Two curved staircases were repaired and made safe, and the third floor was refurbished with refinished floors, plaster, paint and supplemental baseboard heat.

The exterior improvements are equally comprehensive. The owners completed major tree trimming and removal, planted screening pines and additional trees, landscaped the grounds, rebuilt stone walls behind the patio and created a garden enclosed by split-rail fencing. A new back porch and steps were constructed, and the front porch received new flooring. Additional work includes exterior wood repairs and painting of the home and outbuildings, new gutters and downspouts, exterior and landscape lighting, a new basement entrance door and a new driveway.

The icehouse foundation was rebuilt and its roof replaced, while the stone shed and other exterior structures received repairs and paint, preserving the visual character of the property’s collection of buildings.

With its striking stone architecture, distinctive interior details, inviting covered porch, beautifully improved grounds and extensive updates, Talbott’s Purchase offers a rare opportunity to become the next steward of a property that has evolved gracefully over generations.
