Description

This enchanting 1800s center-chimney, cape-style home stands as a testament to New England’s timeless architecture. Privately perched atop a rise on 16.3 acres at the end of a town-maintained road, with no neighbors in sight, this home is full of historic charm without sacrificing modern comforts. The rustic wood accent wall adds a warm complement to the white cabinets and dark soapstone counters in the updated kitchen, while the red gas stove adds just a touch of spice. Beyond that is the pantry/laundry...This enchanting 1800s center-chimney, cape-style home stands as a testament to New England’s timeless architecture. Privately perched atop a rise on 16.3 acres at the end of a town-maintained road, with no neighbors in sight, this home is full of historic charm without sacrificing modern comforts. The rustic wood accent wall adds a warm complement to the white cabinets and dark soapstone counters in the updated kitchen, while the red gas stove adds just a touch of spice. Beyond that is the pantry/laundry room that leads to the formal dining room. Here the soul of the home, a stunning Rumford fireplace complete with a crane and kettle, takes center stage. The dining room also provides access to the main floor primary bedroom, an office/guest room, and full bath. Crisp white wood paneling topped by tone-on-tone hand-painted and stenciled walls creates a feeling of grace in the living room, which also features a fireplace with a glass-front soapstone woodstove insert. Upstairs you’ll find 2 generously sized bedrooms and a ¾ bath. The attached garage leads into the front entry, and covered porches shelter the front and back doors from the weather. The land itself, with a combination of wooded and open areas, year-round streams, and gardens, would make an ideal home for animals, and offers the chance to extend the present garden areas. Located 5 miles from I-91 and close to all local services and amenities. Take a step back in time and discover the allure of this vintage home.
