Nostalgia, character, and charm are but a few ways to describe this beautiful country home and the 19+ acres it sits on. Mature flowering & fruit trees, perennial flowers, shrubs, a manmade year-round flowing pond with fish are all a part of the landscape you'll enjoy from a wrap-around porch that is partially screened in. A carriage house and 30' X 60' barn are a perfect backdrop to this home. Keeping the charm of a Norman Rockwell era, the original maple flooring throughout has been beautifully refinished and original interior door hardware is still in place. Hickory cabinets show off an open kitchen with a half-bath, dining room, family room, and formal sitting room completing the look on the main floor. Upstairs there are four lovely bedrooms and full bath. This home offers privacy, space for animals, room for kids to play and explore, yet is close to the school and town amenities.
