Step back in time when you walk into this magnificently restored and updated mid 19th century farmhouse in the quaint village of Cornish. Moved to its current location via oxen in 1850, it represented grandeur and prosperity as one of the first homes to have electricity and plumbing. The first floor boasts a grand staircase centered between the elegant dining room and a double parlor living room. A half bath, butlers staircase and pantry lead into a beautifully updated eat-in kitchen flowing into a spacious family room. Enjoy the large, private back yard and unlimited fresh raspberries from the expansive 40'x18' patio. A perfect home for entertaining - inside and out! On the second floor you will find an elegant common area, a primary master suite with tiled shower and soaking tub, 3 additional spacious bedrooms, a second full bath and office/flex space. A large attic provides opportunity for even more living space and storage. The oversized, three car attached garage is under construction and will be completed prior to close. The town approved apartment above the garage is ready to be finished by new owners and will provide a wonderful future income opportunity or an in-law/guest suite.
