About This Home
As of September 2025Set on 6.43 scenic acres at the foot of Cathole Mountain, this quintessential New England Colonial is paired with a beautifully restored barn-style guest house. Both antique structures have been thoughtfully renovated with a significant investment in energy-efficient infrastructure, blending historic charm with modern performance. The main house-lovingly known as Thyme Haven Farmhouse-features spacious rooms with original maple flooring and abundant natural light throughout. An impressive chef's kitchen anchors the main level, complete with a breakfast bar, walk-in pantry, 6 burner gas range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and additional refrigerator drawers. A glass sliding door leads to the screened porch which offers views of the beautifully landscaped grounds, consisting of fruit trees and mature plantings. Adjacent to the kitchen is a bright dining room with a bay window and skylights, as well as a large mudroom/storage room. Two additional bay windows flank the spacious living room, which features a fireplace and two distinct seating areas-ideal for both entertaining and quiet evenings at home. A main-level bedroom with its own private powder room completes the first floor. Upstairs, you'll find two generously sized guest bedrooms, each served by a fully remodeled hallway bathroom. The expansive primary suite offers a second beautifully renovated bathroom, a large walk-in closet, and a private balcony.
