Known as the Forbes-Webber House named after builder Elizur Bliss Forbes & the Webber family who lived here for much of the early-twentieth century. Forbes built the original 3-story structure in the grand Greek Revival style in 1839 on land purchased from Zachariah B. Stevens. Over the many years that followed, successive owners have updated, enlarged, entertained & cherished this special home. Set on nearly 1/2 acre, the grounds are both gracious & inviting. They offer a peaceful respite after a long day, the perfect place for entertaining, mature trees & plantings to behold, flower & vegetable gardens. The current owners are the true definition of 'good stewards' having returned this remarkable home back to its original glory & beyond. History has been honored & livability has been enhanced w/ spa-worthy baths, a true gourmet kitchen & a full suite of updates including wiring, plumbing, heating, roofs, paint, 4,000sf, 5-6 beds, 3.5 baths, barn & more!
