About this home

Fall in love with the unmistakable character of this sun-drenched 1870 Farmhouse Colonial. Beautifully preserved on a lush, private 0.83-acre lot, this home blends timeless 19th-century architecture with modern updates, including a new roof, new septic system, and new well installed in 2020. Historic highlights include original wide-plank floors, exposed beams, and lovely built-ins. The main level features a spacious living room with a fireplace, a formal dining room with built-ins, framing the window, and a charming eat-in kitchen with new stone flooring, marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar, and laundry. Relax in the glass-enclosed family room, which retains its original beams and flooring and opens effortlessly to a beautiful stone patio for outdoor entertaining. The second floor boasts the primary bedroom, a secondary bedroom, and a full hall bath. The third-floor features a versatile loft space that offers incredible potential to serve as a third bedroom, fully backed by the three-bedroom septic system installed in 2020, along with a new drilled well and asphalt roof.
