This turn of the century farmhouse sits on over an acre with lovely perennial gardens and flowering trees. Enjoy sitting on your front porch drinking tea or your stone patios surrounded by the beauty of the seasons. The brick and stone paver path will take you to the summer house once used as a smoke house, craft shed and a she shed. Use your imagination and make it your own. The owner is gleaming with pride of the house he rebuilt with his own hands alongside his family. The siding was locally milled and is original to the home. Inside you will find the kitchen with a large pantry, a center island, breakfast bar and abundance of counter space and cabinetry. The dining area has authentic wide plank floors and part of the original log cabin is exposed. The living room features custom, local stone in the fireplace wall and a warm wood stove for those winter nights. The family room is bright and is right off leads into the sunroom full of sliding glass doors adjacent to the wrap around decking overlooking the pastoral views. The laundry room is on the first floor and a full bath. Upstairs you will find 3 bedrooms, full bath with a claw foot tub and a walk up attic for storage or a studio. The unfinished basement with stone walls has an underground drainage system. There is also a wood stove for back up heat. There is laundry hook up in the basement if you wish to move laundry from upstairs. The mammoth size old red barn can house anything from vintage cars, lawn tractors, speed boats or just about any toy you may have with still plenty of room for workshop. The main part of the barn and the 3 car garage addition has a tin roof and tin siding. Surrounded by a wraparound paved driveway you can pull your vehicles and campers right through. There is also hook up for your RV. The possibilities are endless. There are two fire pits, one perfect for star gazing and the other where you will feel like you are in the woods on a camping trip, just pitch a tent and you are just minutes from home. The owner made extensive renovations for 4 years in the 90’s making sure this piece of history stands the test of time. A list of all the renovations is available to any interested buyer. Come enjoy the lifestyle of country living.
