About This Home

As of May 2013

Private and pristine, this nearly 2 acre "in village" historical property has been completely renovated with a singular vision defined by simple elegance. Sited in a premiere location and historically known as "The Roberts House", this c. 1860 farmhouse has been tastefully redone with attention to detail that reflects today'sexpectations while preserving much of its history. Enjoy the short walk to the village grocer, inn and theater, then back home to the high-hedge privacy of the beautiful gated grounds. Cook in a custom kitchen. Listen to the babbling brook. Enjoy the in-ground pool. Curl up by the fireplace in the main house. Or entertain in the great room of the updated 19th-C post-and-beam Barn/Studio. A must see-- a unique and rare offering in the charming Village of Dorset!
