Set on a scenic country road this handsome Georgian-style four bedroom c.1769 colonial has all the charm of a well-maintained antique dwelling, yet is located in a peaceful suburban neighborhood. From the Greek Revival front doorway to the gunstock beams (maybe chestnut), the hand crafted 6 panel doors, 8' ceilings and 3 first floor stairways, there are many charming architectural elements. Large eat-in kitchen has old marble counters, early bee-hive oven, a 3/4 bath and a pantry room with handy laundry. On each of the upstairs levels there are 2 bedrooms, a modern bath, a study room and additional spread-out space. The small barn has been repurposed as a one car garage (now home bike repair) with a pine-paneled 23'X15' children's play room with a second floor attic. Three additional sheds of various sizes: for chickens, gardening tools and firewood, round out the yard; which also offers a fenced vegetable garden, an herb garden & a blue stone patio with attractive sitting wall.
