Antique charmer in the village of East Dorset was originally built in the 1850s by famous lumberman, F.G. Harwood. . An addition followed in 1900, and thoughtful improvements over the years have created a gracious Colonial farmhouse with approximately 3,861 square feet of living space, an oversized two-car garage, and 1.1 acres. The expansive floor plan offers a primary suite with an oversized closet, four additional bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, a formal dining room, a spacious living room, and an inviting front parlor. At the heart of the home, the generously sized kitchen features a center island and six-burner gas range, with easy access to a deck and patio on one side and the garage on the other. Distinctive wood flooring adds warmth throughout, including Brazilian cherry on much of the main level, antique maple upstairs, and pale bamboo in the primary suite. A newly installed septic system was permitted for five bedrooms in July 2026. Rich farmhouse character blends seamlessly with contemporary comfort, all just a short distance from Manchester. The home’s flexible layout already includes an additional kitchen hookup, 2 basements, and furnaces, creating an established duplex footprint and possibilities for multiple residential units. Recent zoning changes will designate the property as “mixed-use residential,” opening additional possibilities for housing or a small business. An excellent location with strong school-choice options completes this distinctive offering.
