About This Home

Built in 1823, this remarkable home is more than a place to live—it’s a storybook of American history. Once a rumored local tavern, and button factory, and believed to have sheltered travelers on the Underground Railroad, every board, beam, and stone holds a whisper of the past. Hand-hewn beams, wide plank floors, and stone walls have been perfectly placed & quietly witnessed two centuries of American life. A wood burning fireplace & timeless details have been lovingly preserved, blending seamlessly with modern comforts like a spacious kitchen, walk-in pantry, first-floor laundry, bonus retreat, updated baths & updated electrical. A two-car garage and a powered outbuilding invite creativity and possibility. Set in a picturesque setting yet minutes to everyday conveniences, this is more than a home—it’s a rare legacy of craftsmanship, character, and enduring spirit. For those who seek more than square footage,,,,they seek meaning... there will never be another quite like it.
