About This Home

As of August 2015

This stone farmhouse boasts a fine pedigree. Records indicate that it has been located here from around 1760. Think of the stories this home could tell from the early days of the Republic to today. The hand hewn beams in the dining room and large fireplace for cooking and heating purposes give us a brief insight into what it must have been like to have lived here. But the charms of the past have embraced the new with an amazing updated kitchen. Top of the range appliances such as Wolf cook top, Sub Zero fridge. Viking Double oven and Bosch Dishwasher complete the chef's kitchen. The large island makes serving and prepping food a breeze. Just off the kitchen is the laundry. Up a few eterior steps from the kitchen is one of the two patios. The large bright family room has a slider to the second patio, lots of built ins for storage and a semi private office ares, note the small window, probably original to the home. On the first upper level is the formal living room with fireplace and built-ins. There is a Juliet balcony over looking the rear yard too. Note the butler's bell by the side of the fire place. As well as being the formal entry to the home on this level there is a bedroom with private bath and a public half bath. There is access to the rear yard too. The second upper level is home to the master suite and bedroom 3 both with their own private baths. The hall way is home to closet storage.
