About This Home

As of March 2025

Imagine owning a beautifully restored piece of history with all the modern conveniences of today. The Joseph Arnold House, built in 1760, is a truly unique residence, rich in character and historical significance. Originally home to the Arnold family until 1804, this remarkable property later served as a post office and variety store. If these walls could speak, they would share generations of stories. Lovingly maintained and recently undergoing a complete transformation, this home seamlessly blends antique charm with contemporary luxury. Every detail has been thoughtfully updated, including new plumbing, a 200-amp electrical system, brand-new central air conditioning, refinished and replaced flooring, restored plaster walls, and all-new lighting throughout. The bathrooms have been fully remodeled, and a first-floor laundry room has been added for convenience. At the heart of the home, the completely redesigned kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring high-end appliances, a new stove, range hood, microwave drawer, refrigerator, and dishwasher. The quartz countertops, extensive tile work, and a spacious kitchen island with additional seating make it perfect for both cooking and entertaining. A beverage bar, farmhouse sink, and pot filler add to the luxurious feel of the space. The home been stripped and revitalized, with all-new Anderson custom double-pane Low-E windows, a new Anderson storm door, and a brand-new roof over the kitchen.
