From the moment you arrive, this home invites you in with its warm character, thoughtful updates, and truly one-of-a-kind features. Inside, you'll find soaring 9-foot ceilings throughout most of the first floor, creating an open and airy feel that perfectly complements the home's rich history. The craftsmanship of 2-foot-thick fieldstone walls offers both durability and a sense of enduring comfort, while the varied-width pine wood floors add an enchanting warmth that flows from room to room. The heart of the home is a welcoming eat-in kitchen, where classic country charm meets modern convenience with updated granite countertops and a farmhouse sink. A spacious first-floor laundry room adds everyday practicality, while the sunroom, bathed in natural light, opens directly onto a beautifully designed patio, making indoor-outdoor living and entertaining effortless. Upstairs, the finished attic provides incredible flexibility, ideal as a bedroom, game room, hobby space, or private retreat. The home also features a generously sized bathroom and efficient oil heat, with supplemental electric baseboard units in the attic and sunroom for added comfort. Set on a large double parcel, the outdoor space is just as impressive. Thoughtful landscaping enhances the property's natural beauty, while the patio creates the perfect setting for gatherings both large and small. A black aluminum fence is perfect for pets both big and small to roam the spacious backyard. A sand mound septic system supports the property's functionality. Perhaps most remarkable is the expansive propane-heated 60 x 40 metal building erected in 2014. a rare and versatile bonus. Inside, you'll find an incredible half basketball court that has been used for everything from a batting cage to a Pickleball court and could be a stunning wrestling room. An enormous 20x 40 adjacent storage area adds even more utility, while the 20x40 upper level, complete with a mini-split system, offers the perfect game room, studio, or private getaway. Unique may be an overused word, but in this case, it feels just right. The Simon Pickle House is more than a home, it's an opportunity to own a piece of history while enjoying the endless possibilities of a truly special property.
