About This Home
Discover this hidden treasure in this extraordinary Antique homestead set on 2.47 acres of natural beauty and privacy. Surrounded on all sides by protected DCR land and built in 1760~this original post-and-beam Buck Homestead blends timeless character with the rare serenity of its setting. A welcoming, oversized farmer’s porch wraps around three-quarters of the home with decking, offering multiple spots to relax and take in the landscape. Enjoy a stunning babbling brook that winds along the rear boundary, complete with granite and stone formations that create a soothing, year-round soundtrack. Designed to function comfortably as a single-family home with an in-law setup, the property offers two distinct living spaces. Enter into main hall/mudroom to the first-floor unit with 2BR/2 BA/LR/DR/kitchen and office, and 2nd floor is 3 BR/3BA/LR/kitchen with cathedral ceiling wood stove, loft, and a 3-season porch overlooking the brook. Great location within minutes of major highways and roads
