Nestled on approx. 2 picturesque acres, this one-of-a-kind converted barn is where history, craftsmanship, and luxury come together. Originally built in 1931 by Walter Wait, this extraordinary 3-story arched roof barn was thoughtfully transformed into a stunning custom home in 1996 while preserving its rich character and timeless charm. Step inside the lower level to an expansive welcoming foyer that sets the tone for the entire home. This level also features a huge bedroom, full bath, utility room, abundant storage, a craft room with running water, and an attached 2-car garage. The main living area is truly breathtaking with soaring rounded vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and an open-concept design filled with natural light. The exquisite kitchen features custom cabinetry by Foster Wood Specialties, new appliances and sink, an oversized center island, and exceptional space for entertaining. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the formal dining area and spacious living room with massive windows, a Vermont Casting stove, and sliders leading to a large deck overlooking the beautiful countryside views. The main floor primary suite offers private balcony access, an attached laundry room, and a spa-like bath with a custom tiled shower featuring stunning natural rock inlays. Upstairs, the loft overlooks the dramatic main living space below and includes an office area plus an additional bedroom suite with a full bath showcasing more beautiful custom rock details in the tub/shower. The exterior is equally impressive with ceramic brick, cedar shakes, and a durable 50-year roof. Additional outbuildings include a large pole barn with metal roof--half insulated, heated, and cooled--plus a horse barn with up to 3 stalls, attached shed space, and an RV barn. A rare opportunity to own a truly unforgettable property rich in history, craftsmanship, and architectural beauty.
