About this home
This c. 1780 Center-Chimney Cape is in great shape and a rare find indeed. "Adopted" by the last owner in 1975 and lovingly nursed back to health, this unusual example of one of the first homes built in the area has many updates that were part of that restoration that one would not expect and were slightly ahead of their time. Some improvements include a large first floor master with private master bath and walk-in closet, first floor laundry and mudroom, screened porch, two car attached garage and large living room. Some of the timeless retained items are the large cooking hearth with oven and cooking crane in the kitchen, the sweet Rumford fireplace in the dining room and the original exposed hand-hewn ceiling beams everywhere you look. Combined with the original 4 and 6 panel pine doors and wrought iron hardware and you cannot beat the character and charm offered in this home. Also includes a functional chicken coop and 1950's style tie stall dairy barn all on 18 acres.
