This country home is the perfect blend of character, privacy, and creative possibility. Set just 2 hours from New York and Boston, this inviting property offers the perfect weekend sanctuary or year-round retreat. The main residence exudes warmth and timeless appeal, thoughtfully constructed by a master craftsman in 2004. Incredible custom millwork, wide board flooring and refined finishes are found throughout, creating a home that feels richly detailed and enduring - ideal for effortless country living. A true standout is the historic barn - an inspired, multi-functional space. Rebuilt in 2000, you'll find a well-appointed, heated space with a workshop and stunning heated/air conditioned guest quarters. A striking barrel-vaulted sleeping loft creates a setting that is both rustic and architecturally compelling. In the tuckaway upstairs, a turn-of-century letterpress printshop is ready to be reimagined as a writer's studio, design workspace, or private retreat. Outdoors, a heated saltwater pool enhances the retreat-like setting, while four garage bays-including two located beneath the first floor garage - offer ideal space for the hobbyist, collector, or weekend gear. A whole house generator provides peace of mind. Offering rare versatility and authentic charm, this is a refined country escape designed for weekends with friends and family, creating cherished memories.
