Description

Built in 1787, this classic antique cape on 5 acres with pool and barn has been through extensive renovations and additions. Originally the house was built closer to the road, but was moved back to the top of the hill overlooking the grounds. The old stone foundation is now a stunning sunken garden. Inside the house has surprises, including an expansive eat in kitchen which opens to a step down family room with fireplace, wood paneled living room with stone fireplace and leaded glass bow window,...Built in 1787, this classic antique cape on 5 acres with pool and barn has been through extensive renovations and additions. Originally the house was built closer to the road, but was moved back to the top of the hill overlooking the grounds. The old stone foundation is now a stunning sunken garden. Inside the house has surprises, including an expansive eat in kitchen which opens to a step down family room with fireplace, wood paneled living room with stone fireplace and leaded glass bow window, and large master suite with full bath. There are two decks off the kitchen; one with eastern light and one facing west towards the sunsets. The barn has water and electricity. The grounds are gorgeous with perennial beds, specimen plantings, lush open lawns and woodlands. The property has the potential for an additional 2 acre lot. The lot had a successful percolation test in 2006.
