Property Description
Bring your imagination with so many possibilities from bed and bfast, restaurant, bakery, ice cream shop to so much more. If you love authentic features and appreciate excellent craftsmanship, then you must see this historic antique colonial. Sturdily constructed in 1740 with 11 rooms creating a masterpiece of period charm. The original exposed beams, five fireplaces, wide walnut floorboards and lovely details enhance the historic allure. In addition to the 3400 square feet of main home restoration the original heavy timbers and wooden pegs that are visible in the 1500 square foot walk up attic appear unaged after nearly 300 years. The basement also runs the length of the house with 9-foot height. Incorporated into the massive stone foundation, the full basement has a new cement floor and new foundation supports. There are many unique features and each needs to be seen. Examples are the 12-foot-long stone that serves as a hearth for the original brick bee hive oven and the accurately custom designed oven. While this home, like most listings, has a kitchen, living room, and dining room, few if any have 2 sitting rooms, walk-in pantry, a setting room and a parlor room. Along with keeping with the times, there are nooks and crannies plus the 4 bedrooms. These 2.23 bucolic acres are residential and commercial zoning, so this property has amazing opportunities especially for the post and beam modernized barn and cottage. A beautiful pond further means to enhance the proper
