About This Home
Step into timeless charm with this beautifully updated colonial farmhouse, where classic character meets modern comfort. Currently a successful smoke- and pet-free short-term rental, it’s equally ideal as a full-time residence, weekend escape, or income-generating retreat. Inside, enjoy soaring ceilings, exposed beams, pine floors, and thoughtful finishes throughout. The kitchen features butcher block counters, stainless steel appliances, a matching range hood, and a cozy breakfast nook. Original pocket doors separate the living and dining rooms, offering flexible entertaining space. The main floor includes a large bedroom, a bright study or family room, full bath with laundry, eat-in kitchen, dining room, living room, and mudroom. Upstairs offers four bedrooms, a full bath, and walk-in closet/office. The third floor has full-height ceilings and stunning views—ideal for a studio, game room, or additional bedrooms. Mini-split A/C and multiple heating options provide year-round comfort. Outside, take in peaceful views of a horse pasture and stream, explore caves, enjoy a private deck, relax near the handcrafted stone wall, or take a slide down the sledding hill. This is more than a home—it’s a place that invites connection, creativity, and calm. Rarely does a property offer this much charm, space, and versatility.
