Step into timeless charm and modern comfort in this beautifully preserved sandstone home dating back to the 1760s. Rich in character and thoughtfully updated, this one-of-a-kind property blends historic craftsmanship with tasteful 2020 renovations designed to maintain the home’s original integrity. Inside, you’ll find stunning exposed wood beams, deep window sills, original wood flooring on the second floor, and a warm living room centered around a striking stone fireplace with a handcrafted wooden mantle. The custom kitchen is a true showpiece, featuring handmade cabinetry, butcher block countertops, a classic farmhouse sink, and charming wainscoting details in the breakfast nook and backsplash. The spacious layout offers four upstairs bedrooms in the main house, along with a full bath upstairs and an additional full bath on the main level. The former summer kitchen has been thoughtfully converted into a private office space with an additional upstairs bedroom—ideal for guests, remote work, or flexible living arrangements. Set on 0.69 acres, the property features a large fenced backyard perfect for entertaining, gardening, or play, as well as a private patio just off the kitchen for quiet mornings or evening gatherings. A walk-up attic provides exciting potential for future expansion or additional living space. This extraordinary home offers the rare opportunity to own a piece of history without sacrificing the comforts of modern living.
