There is a particular grace to a center hallway Colonial style home and this beautiful 18th century home is a perfect example of that unique design and charm. Impeccably maintained by the sellers for 43 years, their more recent improvements add great ease and even more appeal to living here. New changes include Central air, a standing seam roof, quality vinyl siding with the benefit of a Tyvek insulation wrap, an irrigation system, a new barn, and much more. The grounds are truly lovely; the back lawn is enhanced and defined by old granite pieces and the front yard enjoys a privacy border of a vintage lilac hedge. An inviting screen porch connects the garage & shop building with the main house and is a very pleasant place you will not want to leave. Overlooking the lush green lawn, it opens to a brick patio barbecue area, and also is the entry area to a sunny, light and bright kitchen. Two front rooms serve as living rooms, one more formal with a wood burning fireplace. The delightful dining room has a wall of interesting open built-ins to showcase your favorite China. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms each with its own enchantment; one, the primary, has its own bathroom, another is currently used as a home office. There is also a 2nd full bath, and the stairway to the third floor attic perfect for extra storage. This 8.7 acre lot offers a pretty back wooded portion to wander in and is adjacent to town land. Easy walk to village.
