Classic, grand and gracious, this stone center-hall colonial dates to 1805 and was “modernized” in the 1930s. Large rooms, ten-foot ceilings and generous proportions are evident throughout, as is the care with which this important home has been maintained and loved through the years. Wood-burning fireplaces grace the 34-foot long living room, formal dining room and richly paneled den. All of the bedrooms are spacious and the upstairs landing is a room of its own. What was once a maid’s room with its own bathroom sits at the top of the back staircase, which leads down to the service area and laundry room. The top floor of the house, a wood-paneled walk-up attic, is currently set up as a game room and could easily function as an elegant home office, studio, gym, media room or stay exactly as it is. Out on the property, marvels abound. There’s a new 11-stall black barn with a red metal roof that has electric service, water, and a concrete floor. Fenced pastures have recently been home to dairy cows; the farmland is currently used for growing hay and there's an old quonset hut that once housed sheep. The spring-fed pond is home to many species of waterfowl and the Rochester Creek flows through the property as well. With a flexible zoning classification the potential for this property is not limited to residential use.
