Enchanted is the impression you will have while viewing this property. 163 Yorkshire is a special place. There is quite a bit of history in this circa 1830 former Mill House and surrounding acreage. Under current ownership, many improvements have been made. An original design full bath including walk in tile, stone & cedar shower and a wood slab top vanity with copper bowl make the 1st floor bath a showpiece! There are 3 water features around the home including a wonderful 10 ft waterfall and pond feature. Also 2 frog ponds. The pristine brook with foot bridges leading to the stone Spring House and terraced yards is something you will not want to leave. The home is full of windows (almost all are replaced) to take advantage of the natural surroundings. Walk up to the home on the winding brick walkway and onto the side porch. Enter the inviting living room through beveled glass door to experience a surprising open concept 1st floor. There is a new wood stove, original wood posts and beams in the ceiling and exposed stone walls. The kitchen is a blend of rustic and modern. Natural slate slab countertops will last a lifetime. One thing you wouldn't expect is the walk in pantry! French doors lead from the kitchen to your brick patio with fire pit. There is even a small stand alone artists studio w/ electric just steps from the house. On the 2nd floor are a master suite consisting of 2 rooms, a 2nd bedroom and full bath. Random width wood flooring is throughout the home. This one should be on your "Must See" list!

"Special" is the thought you will have when viewing this home. And you will be correct. 163 Yorkshire is a special place. There is quite a bit of history in this circa 1830 former Mill house and surrounding acreage. Under current ownership, many improvements have been made. A second full bathroom was added on the 1st floor, new furnace and central air installed, a SS flue in the wood stove chimney, new gutters and roofs on the out buildings, a wonderful 10 ft waterfall and pond feature was added as well as other small items too numerous to mention. There are 3 water features around the home as well as a babbling brook with 3 foot bridges. The home is full of windows (almost all are replaced) to take advantage of the natural surroundings. There is off street parking for 8 cars as well as a garage and barn. Walk up to the home on the winding brick walkway and onto the side porch. Enter the inviting living room through beveled glass door to experience a surprising open concept 1st floor. There are original wood posts and beams in the ceiling and exposed stone walls. The kitchen is a blend of rustic and modern. Natural slate slab countertops will last a lifetime. One thing you wouldn't expect is the walk in pantry! French doors lead from the kitchen to your brick patio with fire pit, water features, flora and fauna. There is even a small stand alone artists studio w/ electric just steps from the house. On the 2nd floor are a master suite consisting of 2 rooms, a 2nd bedroom and full bath. The finished third floor would make a nice 3rd bedroom (2 rooms). It just needs heat installed, which is very easy. Random width wood flooring is throughout the home. This one should be on your "Must See" list!
