Historic 1865 Farmhouse — Fully Renovated, One-of-a-Kind Property on 7+ Acres This is not your average listing. Set on over 7 scenic acres across 3 subdivided parcels in Washington Township, this beautifully restored 1865 Federal-style farmhouse blends historic character with completely modern finishes. Rich in character with exposed stone and brick exterior. The thoughtful updates enhance comfort while preserving timeless details around each and every turn. The fully redesigned kitchen is a showstopper — featuring quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink, tiled backsplash, floating shelves, and brand-new appliances. The updated powder room continues the same level of finish and attention to detail found throughout. Hardwood flooring flows through every room. Two wood-burning brick fireplaces — one in the living room, one in the primary bedroom — add warmth and character that simply can’t be replicated in new construction. The original bones are just as impressive: exposed beams, deep windowsills, natural stone flooring in the entry, and a brick and stone exterior that has stood for over 160 years. French doors open to a private deck overlooking a cleared, beautifully landscaped backyard — a true outdoor retreat. With 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, a 3-car garage, a turnout barn, and a basketball/tennis court, this property offers flexibility that’s nearly impossible to find — whether you’re looking for a private country estate, a hobby farm, or a multi-parcel investment opportunity. Properties like this don’t come around often. Schedule your private showing today.
