About This Home
As of September 2016Nestled in nature’s sanctuary, overlooking migratory birds among the tidal waters of Falls Brook, binoculars at hand’s reach are a must! Watch egrets gather while eagles soar overhead. The traditional 19th century New England colonial is stunning, inside and out. Within the age old beauty of a well-preserved colonial farmhouse lies an interior transformed into an elegant, yet comfortable space with many floors and beams reclaimed from the barn and outbuildings. From the formal dining room, a wet bar with beautiful stone floors and atrium windows light the way to an exceptional kitchen with cathedral ceilings. A breakfast nook, center island, granite countertops, Viking and Subzero appliances and a pantry make this a wonderful space. The gracious living room has the home’s original fireplace, a boxed bay window and French doors leading to a blue stone terrace. A cozy library and a laundry/mudroom with a corner office finish the first floor. The second level features two guest bedrooms, a beautifully paneled shared bath and a stunning master suite. There is a sitting area, bathroom with limestone blocking and wainscoting, and large picture windows that open to bluebirds, wood ducks, mergansers and herons dancing to the hum of the Old Mill’s waterfall. A barn, potting shed and unfinished studio await the artist within. Of the property’s 3.5 acres, 2.63 acres are designated as pasture land affording significant tax benefits.
