About this home
Welcome to the Silsby-Hillard House. This rare, 18th century cape is a trip back in time. Nestled on 11 acres of woods, a small field and a fruit orchard including heirloom apple, pear and peach trees. Established organic vegetable beds, mature perennial flower and herb beds, river gravel walkways and a large, dry laid stone wall and patio area. This four bedroom timber frame home retains may original features such as Indian shutters, some original doors and windows and forged iron hardware throughout. The large kitchen has a vintage feel with its antique porcelain double sink and pot chest. Although steeped in history, the home has been updated with a new energy efficient heat pump and A/C system as well as an on demand water heater. This home has been lovingly renovated and rejuvenated, working with the original features resulting in a beautiful, charming and comfortable county home. Showings to begin Oct 3
