Timeless charm meets modern ease in this beautifully renovated 1852 antique, thoughtfully updated while preserving the character that makes it truly special. Set on a picturesque lot framed by classic New England stone walls, mature crab apple and pear trees, newer peach tree and budding strawberry plants, the setting feels straight out of a storybook. Some trails have already been cut throughout the property-perfect for peaceful walks, biking, or ATV rides. Inside, a bright and inviting four-season sunroom offers the perfect place to unwind and take in the backyard views year-round. The home has been extensively updated over the last decade with a new roof, wiring, plumbing, septic system, flooring, and more making it completely move-in ready. A spacious two-car detached garage provides ample room for vehicles, storage, and hobbies. Whether you're enjoying warm summer evenings on the front porch or crisp fall days on the back deck, this property delivers a lifestyle as special as its setting. With a large lot and additional frontage on Sheldon Rd, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history with all the modern comforts already in place. Recent home inspections results available. Offers are due Monday 5/18 at 10am.
