This all brick farmhouse features a gourmet kitchen seamlessly combined with all of the character you would hope to find in a property of this stature. Random width wood floors, five fireplaces, three levels of living space, and the list goes on. The grounds feature a separate guest cottage, an out building that includes a two-car detached garage, and stone ruins from the original barn. This property is special indeed!
