Welcome to the Spofford Barnes barn at the Harlan P. Kelsey Arboretum. Originally built in 1748, this amazing property was renovated in the 1920s, and served as the office headquarters for the successful Kelsey Highlands Nursery complex. Completely renovated again in 2000, the property was converted into the 3 magnificent condos that exist today. Unit 1, which is the largest, is appointed with impeccable modern amenities while retaining the exceptional interior paneling, custom built-ins, and soaring beamed ceilings of a bygone era. The large kitchen features beautiful inset cabinetry and high end stainless appliances, all 3 bathrooms have been tastefully updated, and the spectacular, sun-filled main room encompasses the dining area, family room with wall of windows, and cozy library/living room with abundant built-ins. Other amenities include a new gas heating system, new roof, private patio, 2 parking spaces (1 covered), unit specific laundry, private storage, and a shared workshop.
