Extraordinary architecture, a connection to rock-and-roll history and a remarkably flexible layout make this Carlisle property truly one of a kind. Two distinct buildings joined by a newly constructed covered bridge create an exceptional opportunity for multigenerational living, working from home or pursuing creative passions—with space to come together and room to retreat. The main residence offers a kitchen, living and dining rooms, and three bedrooms on the main level. Downstairs, a spacious primary bedroom with a private bath is complemented by a family room with a separate exterior entrance, creating a private suite ideal for extended family or guests. A 2-car garage adds convenience, while central air conditioning and a new high-efficiency gas heating system provide year-round comfort. Across the covered bridge, the second building offers a dramatic change of atmosphere, with stunning exposed beams, rich wood finishes and soaring spaces. A sitting room with a woodstove provides a cozy gathering spot, while the expansive family room features a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and sliders to a deck. An overhead catwalk adds architectural interest, overlooking the space below, while a loft offers a bedroom and 2 separate storage spaces. The lowest level features a heated workshop, heated darkroom and a former recording studio with a sound booth once used by The J. Geils Band and The Cars. From working at home to making music or pursuing a favorite hobby, these distinctive spaces offer exceptional versatility. This building is served by its own oil heating system and has 2 additional heated garage spaces. Outside, a beautiful, wooded setting frames the buildings, decks and a detached screen house, refreshed with new paint and ready for leisurely afternoons or evenings with friends. A Generac backup generator adds peace of mind. Offering character, history and room to shape life around the way you live, work and create, this Carlisle home offers something rare and remarkable!
