About This Home

As of June 2025

Hillcrest, a circa 1775 farmhouse brimming with charm, has been beautifully modernized by a meticulous master craftsman and set in a vibrant and convenient community. Historic elements abound in the inviting interior living spaces where colonial forebearers gathered in the warmth of the stunning walk-in fieldstone fireplace with beehive oven door. Random width wide plank floors, deep windowsills, wainscoting, built-ins and two fireplaces adorn the open living and dining rooms. High ceilings showcase the home’s hand hewn beams. Modern enhancements include a sunroom/library with heated travertine floors and wall of custom built-in shelves and cabinets. The kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, prep space and island seating. A full bathroom was recently renovated with heated travertine floors, marble vanity, and marble shower.

Family and friends will be beautifully accommodated in four bedrooms on the upper levels with walk-in closets, another renovated bath with heated floors, and a large office. Evidence of the home's age is found throughout, in the gently worn wood floors from two hundred years of steps. The colonial past, however, has been improved with updated electrical service, newer heating, air conditioning, windows, and roof.

An oversized heated 3-car garage offers plenty of space but also a world of possibilities. This and 3 other outbuildings afford extra space for hobbies and an abundance of storage. Hillcrest is more than a home, it's a legacy awaiting the next steward to snuggle before the hearth on long winter evenings, hunker down in the thick stone walls during a spring thunderstorm, putter in the garage or frolic in the pool on warm summer days.
