Built in 1837, with a 1970ā€™s extension and a 2000ā€™s garage, and lovingly maintained by the same family, prior owners, for 58 years. Current owners have added thoughtful modern touches. The mud-room entrance welcomes you into a living room featuring high-vaulted ceiling, parquet wood flooring, built-ins, and a Danish Lange wood-burning stove. Step up to the kitchen, also w/vaulted ceiling, hardwood floors, pantry, new marble counter-tops, new stainless-steel appliances, including a 6-burner gas range and cozy breakfast nook. The historically charming kitchen cabinets were made by a local craftsman using chestnut wood from an old barn on the property. The lovely leaded windows are from the Henry Whitfield Old Stone House. Dining room off the kitchen, with original wide-plank floors, provides a warm and inviting space for friends & family to gather. Study off the living room can function as an office for those working remotely, or with en-suite bathroom, as a ground-floor master. 3 bedrooms are found on the second floor, with the primary featuring a remodeled spa-like full bath. Additional space in the historic lower level walk-out includes a family room with an original stone fireplace with beehive oven, built-ins, more leaded windows, wet-bar, laundry area and work station along with original Dutch door.
