Distinctive and classic Greek Revival home on a country acre, Fonda schools. It was recently completely restored, leaving its Colonial character intact. New sheetrock is most everywhere and the floors were releveled or resupported from below (you will notice some sloping however - it is old, after all). Most rooms have the original paneling and woodwork, 6 over 6 windows, and beautifully refinished plank floors. Five of the downstairs windows are new along with 2 of the upstairs ones. Interior doors are mostly original to the home; the rest are congruous. The front door is new and is fiberglas, but is Colonial styed. This home was built in the mid nineteenth century, of pegged post and beam construction with hand-hewn main beams and rough cut lumber for joists. The foundation is cut limestone and it is mortared between the blocks. The main part of the basement has a cement floor and adequate ceiling height, but there is a dirt floor and less headspace under one wing. In the home, ceilings are 9-10' downstairs. There are 6 ersatz columns in the front and a porchlet that mimics the roof lines. There are also 2 original fireplaces with bricked-in fronts. The downstairs one has been exposed. It was a Rumsford fireplace. The living room is 15x18' - it could also be used as a downstairs bedroom. The dining room, a lovely room, is 16 1/2x21' and could also be used as a living room. This room has full decorative period paneling up to window height. The kitchen has ample room for dining as it is 17 1/2x17 1/2' (L-shaped). It has all newer hickory Early American cabinetry with ceramic tile countertops. Behind it is a 9 1/2x16' bedroom. Due to its many oversize original windows and high ceilings, this home has a bright and airy feeling. All floors are refinished plank except in the dining room which has new oak flooring. All moldings are original or replicas. There is also a full bath downstairs and a charming and original pantry.

There are doors from each to the upstairs halls. Another bedroom (or storage room) is 6x17'.
