Set on 6.79± acres, it's a place where morning walks, afternoon bike rides, and evenings under the stars can become part of everyday life. At the heart of the property is a circa 1850 Greek Revival home, rich with architectural character and topped by a classic slate roof. A substantial steel barn offers exceptional space for hobbies, equipment, vehicles, a workshop, or the projects you've always wanted room to pursue. Significant improvements have already been completed, including a new septic system, ductless mini-split heating and cooling, all new windows and exterior doors, a whole-house water filtration and softener system, and an updated bathroom.
