Some homes have history & charm. Some have views, privacy & serenity. Some have been updated. This one has it ALL. Built during the Ben Franklin era & privately set back on 2.5 acres and borders 1000's of acres of protected land with NO neighbors encroaching. This property grabs you the moment you arrive - and never quite lets you go. Step inside & you’re greeted by the soul of the original home - wide exposed beams, rich barn board walls, & a warm authentic atmosphere. The former carriage house is now a stunning family room w/radiant heated floors & the country kitchen, wraparound porch, and 3 bedroom layout, invite comfortable living. An expansive barn outbuilding (approx 78' x 23') offers extraordinary potential (collector's or mechanics garage, workshop, storage, or horses/chickens/goats). See list of upgrades! This rare property perfectly combines history, beauty, and peace of mind.
