About this home

This 1860's Colonial, once the centerpiece of the 100-acre Edward Howe Farm, has all the charm of the that era and all the conveniences of recent additions, updates and renovations. Original features include wide plank pine floors, bead board paneling, a hand-carved period mantel, a New Jersey winder stair, and charming picture molding. Slate floors, vaulted beamed ceilings, a limestone master bath, a charming three-season screen porch, and windowed walls reflect today's requirements. On just over 3/4 of an acre, the lot has decks, a patio and a delightful garden.
