Nestled on 1.48 gently landscaped acres, this lovingly reimagined 1840 brick homestead marries timeless character with thoughtful modern upgrades. Warm wide‑plank solid pine floors, classic moldings and a welcoming layout set the tone for everyday comfort and gracious entertaining. The main kitchen is beautifully appointed with polished granite counters, stainless appliances, a farmhouse sink overlooking the country meadows, a generous pantry and a practical "friends & family" entrance with room for coats and boots. The living room centers on a handsome brick fireplace and mantle, and a convenient first‑floor powder room completes the main level. The dining room just makes you want to stay long after dinner talking and planning. Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms—one with a built‑in Murphy bed—and a truly magnificent family bath. The soaking tub is perfectly positioned for pastoral views, the fully tiled shower sits to the side, and a private porch off the bath invites fresh‑air relaxation. A well‑placed laundry center connects the bath to the primary suite for ease and flow. Rebuilt from the inside out in 2017, the home features durable double‑brick exterior walls finished with refined synthetic stucco parge, metal‑stud interior framing, and high‑performance foam insulation for year‑round comfort. Major systems were replaced top‑to‑bottom: a new Takagi boiler supplies two‑zone radiant heat, all‑new PEX plumbing, upgraded 200‑amp electrical service, new windows and exterior doors, a new roof, and a four‑stage mini‑split system for precise climate control—modern reliability without sacrificing historic soul. Outside is an entertainer’s paradise: meandering brick pathways, mature plantings, a covered patio and gazebo create intimate spaces for gathering. An adjoining outdoor kitchen with a built‑in gas grill makes al fresco cooking effortless, and the former pool pad has been prepped with electrical and conduit for easy future re‑installation. A powered "she‑shed" offers flexible space for studio, office, or hobby use. The big red barn is a property highlight: an insulated, finished upper‑level recreation room (heated and cooled) plus an adjacent workshop with a built‑in workbench, heavy‑duty circuits, a flue for a wood stove and abundant storage. Additional third‑floor and lower‑level storage, multiple outbuildings, a greenhouse, fully fenced backyard, raised garden beds and a new well expand the homestead’s usability. Two 250‑gallon rainwater cisterns are installed, and one is plumbed underground to supply the raised beds and greenhouse. For someone who values permanence and peace of mind, this home delivers—careful craftsmanship and thoughtful upgrades let you enjoy history without compromise. Quiet country living, generous entertaining spaces and practical, sustainable systems come together in a rare, lovingly cared‑for homestead ready for its next chapter.
