Few families have had the pleasure of living in this warm and inviting home. Set on 2.74 acres of expansive lawns and mature plantings bounded by century old stone walls. The original part of the home, ca.1710, boasts large rooms with wide pine floors, beamed ceilings and impressive fireplaces. Six fireplaces in total. Three additions over time have added: a very large living room with a 15 foot ceiling plus a unique ceiling to floor curved window and fireplace, a first floor ensuite bedroom lined with closets and windows, offering views of the back lawn and garden patio. There is an eat-in kitchen, family room, laundry/bathroom and a four-season sunroom. Along with comfort and charm, there are the modern conveniences of today’s homes. New roof, large walk-up attic, full basement, three car garage, abundant closets and built-ins, whole-house generator, 200 AMP electric and much more. Unique spaces such as a wet bar, powder room and back stairway. A true Hamilton treasure!
