Built in the 1700's and lovingly restored in 1982 using old tools, authentic hardware and materials, the house offers elegance and charm. As you step inside, you will step back in time and admire the exposed beams, gorgeous wide pine floors with reproduction rose head nails, three working fireplaces, a first-floor bedroom, one and a half baths and an attic guest room. The house flows beautifully and exudes warmth. Property was lovingly cared for by the same owner for over 30 years. The exterior features two acres of land that includes two reproduction barns with original hardware, a covered bridge built, pegged and erected at the property, a brook that provides water for the gardens, a covered porch, rock walls and perennials. The main house has an insulated one-car attached garage as well as a greenhouse. The house and barns feature metal roofs. Don't miss out on this opportunity to own a piece of history. This property is being conveyed by the estate and is being sold as/is.
