The Elisha Fairchild House is an exceptional circa 1759 home has been beautifully preserved and offers the perfect balance of timeless charm and modern convenience. Having passed through the hands of now only six families over the years, it is not simply a historic property but a home that lives with a certain rhythm and mood, where old meets new in a way that feels like home. Once part of the Coleman family's dairy farm, this home has a warmth that has surrounded those who have lived there. This center chimney colonial has a trio of massive brownstone fireplaces, the one in what is now used as the dining room complete with a built-in brick lined oven. In the 1880s an addition to the back of the house was added, including the kitchen and a second-floor chamber connected to the first floor by back stairs that is currently being used as the primary bedroom. Upstairs are high ceilings and four additional bedrooms, each bathed in natural light, along with two full baths. Although the current owners have only been there a short time, they have updated the home by refinishing and repairing the hardwood floors, removing old popcorn ceilings, repainting most of the interior in modern, light colors, and adding stainless steel appliances to the kitchen. They also uncovered a hidden brick front walkway and updated the electric panel. The home is connected to nature with the rear gravel patio adjacent to a 56-acre tree farm that offers peace and privacy. This is more than a home-
it's a chance to contribute to a legacy and create your own memories within its historic walls. Thoughtfully preserved and carefully updated, this home is ready for its next chapter, waiting for someone new to turn the page!
