Potential abounds for this piece of history in the heart of the one-of-a-kind small town of Newfields. When you look up and down Main Street, in addition to the classic general store and brick library, you will see stately homes lining both sides of the street. 78 Main, with a fireplace in nearly every room (including one with a fabulous beehive oven), gunstock corner posts, and Indian shutters, is a magnificent Colonial in need of some TLC. The backyard with its organic gardens exhibiting an array of vegetables and fruit -- from asparagus to Honey Crisp apples, berries, grapes, and kiwi vines, as well as lovely perennials and flowering shrubs/bushes -- is any gentleman farmer's dream come true. The barn can accommodate several cars and has a spacious workshop. The loft area would make a great art studio, house a ping pong table, or serve as storage. Dreams do come true -- create your dream at 78 Main.
