About This Home
As of April 2023This colonial home was built by John Rodgers in 1765 and is on the National Register of Historical Houses. It has been meticulously renovated and remodeled by the prominent local architect/owner, Peter Woerner. Upgrades to the house systems, including electrical, plumbing, heating and a/c, water treatment, and more, ensure 21st Century performance and convenience in an 18th Century house. The interior and exterior renovations are beautifully designed and executed with the highest level of craftsmanship, to yield a comfortable home suitable for today's modern living, while preserving the features and feel of the original. The property includes an 19th Century barn with hand-hewn beams that has also been upgraded. The house also has magnificent views of the Marsh, and is conveniently located to Stony Creek village, Rt 95 access, shopping, boating, swimming, fishing, and hiking on local nature trails. This unique opportunity really must be experienced to be fully appreciated, words do not do it justice. Option to create first floor master suite.
