Historic Quaker Farms, this home is a living part of Oxfords History. Dating to 1799 the house has graced the cover of two Oxford Historical Society books. Current stewards have spent the last 5.5 years meticulously restoring the home incorporating all the modern conveniences and new mechanics without losing site of the purity of the era. The main home now has a beautiful bright new kitchen, framed by an early archway, powder room and mudroom just off the expansive stone patio, all cleverly reconfigured. Sun filled formal dining room. Living room with one of the two original fireplaces, surrounded with exquisite paneling, & lovely sunny piano room all open to the stone patio. A wonderful, welcoming family room with second fireplace, exposed beams and built ins. A dormer was raised to incorporate two very charming upstairs baths. Throughout you will find exposed beams, two large fireplaces with baking ovens, wide board floors, 12 over 12 windows restored, period doors and hardware. Remodeled studio guest loft over detached two car garage rents for $1400/mos. Large three-story post and beam barn with overhead door in lower level, upstairs levels scream party barn, or a pool house? All new roofs, front of main home wood shingle, rear is asphalt with fully purchased solar panels. Fondly recalled as Petticoat Farm, land encompasses two brooks, one with its own island! Re planted w native landscaping, birds galore. Could easily be used as a gentleman's farm once again.
