As you drive down the quiet, scenic road through protected woodlands and farmland, you will find this authentic antique originally built in 1785. This is an extremely special property that you can be the next steward of, an antique with many original features yet many modern updates. The last major addition added in the 1970s completed the home with 2791 sq ft, 4 bedrooms, 2 full and 1 half bathrooms and an oversized 2 car garage. The main level master bedroom provides a screened in porch overlooking the private level back yard and beautiful perennials. A 20x40 pool was once in the yard as well and has an easy ability to be added again if desired. There are 5 fireplaces throughout along with wide board chestnut floors flowing through the original part of the home from the 1700s, original front door and handcrafted 9 over 6 paned windows which were replicated in the 1950s from remnants of the original glass panes. The kitchen provides ample counter space for homemade baked goods accompanied with a plentiful amount of cabinets & cupboards. This home is private and peaceful with no possibility of build developments and is conveniently located not far from major highways and routes. It is far from a cookie cutter type home, not only inside and out, but it's history alone makes it quite extraordinary. Newtown Historical Society featured the home on their Newtown Garden Tour 1985 & 2013. Antiquity at its finest.
