About This Home

As of July 2020

The Historic Cowdry House has been reimagined and is available for the first time in 25 years with an exquisite blend of New England antique charm and modern flair. Renovated and expanded, the property consists of a circa 1800's main house with a single story connector to an extarordinary reconstructed barn that has been magically transformed into a multipurpose studio and loft. The main house features wide pine floors, 3 bedrooms, 2 parlors, dining room and a chef's kitchen. A perfectly designed butlers pantry with concrete counter tops and custom cabinetry lead you from the 19th century home into the 21st century barn. Featuring reclaimed chestnut beams, a magnificent stainless steel staircase, and full designer bathroom, the barn consists of one large open area that includes spaces for dining, sleeping, and an office. The second story loft is perfect for an entertainment center or gym equipment. A rare opportunity like this doesn't come often, as this home truly is a must see!
