If you love old farmhouses with all the modern day conveniences, this one is for you. Once known as the Nathaniel Scarlett house, this updated 3000 square foot home is rich in history. It also comes complete with a separate in-law suite or an ideal home office, which includes 2 rooms, a kitchenette and full bath. Back in the day, guests were met in the traditional greeting room off the covered porch. Today, the portico leads you from the garage and detached in-law suite/home office to the side entrance. This charming hallway/mudroom with beautiful stone walls takes you past the laundry and powder room to the renovated eat in kitchen. Features include radiant heated floors, granite counters, wall oven, cooktop, a fantastic view of the backyard and French doors to the back patio. Just off the kitchen is a small private library with built in bookshelves. The first floor also has a formal dining room and a spacious, sunken living room with a wood burning stove. One of the many highlights of this home is the sunroom off the living room, which is lined with windows and a door to the porch, a fantastic place to begin or end the day. The owner’s suite is off to one side of the 2nd floor with 2 closets and a private bath with a shower, new vanity, and an entire wall of Shaker-inspired built-in drawers and cabinets. The two additional bedrooms share a private full bathroom. This farmhouse has it all - built in shelves, deep windowsills, beautiful hardwood floors, and stone walls throughout. Outside, take the stone steps to your own private oasis and frog pond. How many frogs can you count?
