About This Home

As of November 2025

Nestled among weathered boulders and whispering trees, this circa-1850 Haycock
Township gem exudes old-world charm and storybook serenity. A flagstone path leads
to a graceful pedimented portico and hand-crafted front door, offering a warm welcome
and hinting at the character within. Inside, original random-width floors, painted floorcloth accents, and beamed ceilings speak to the home’s heritage, while thoughtful modern updates ensure comfort and ease. The inviting kitchen features KraftMaid cabinetry, a roll-down coffee station, and a convenient breakfast bar for effortless mornings. At the heart of the home lies a stunning great room, framed by reclaimed barnwood beams and illuminated by skylights. A fieldstone fireplace anchors cozy winter evenings, while French doors open to a covered brick patio. Upstairs, sunlit bedrooms reveal exposed beams and rich wood floors, while the
versatile third floor provides flexible space for an office, studio, or bedroom. Beyond the main residence, a beautifully restored barn studio offers endless potential with abundant windows, built-in shelving, and climate control—ideal for art, work, or wellness pursuits. An oversized four-car garage with a hayloft and workshop provides generous space for storage and projects. Set on more than three acres, this peaceful property feels worlds away yet remains just minutes from town conveniences, lakes, and trails. “This Old House” is where craftsmanship, creativity, and countryside calm converge—awaiting its next chapter
