Towering spruce trees flank the Joshua Hill House c. 1725, built by the former “housewright.” Ancient stonewalls define the property’s 1.94 acres- alive with birdsong. Lush gardens and gravel walkways evoke a gentle life long ago. The high-posted residence has been faithfully restored and refreshed. Here are tall ceilings, extraordinary light, and a gracious floor plan-- all rare in antique homes. Original crown molding, chair rails, paneling, wide-pine floors, and plaster walls, are joined with new custom Pella windows, crafted cabinetry, interior shutters and more – all judged by a noted architectural historian to have been executed at “high, high level”. Enjoy meals in a well-equipped, bright, comfortable kitchen with custom built-ins, soapstone sink, and marble and soapstone counters. A walk-in laundry is near-by. There are warm dining, living, and sitting rooms and a spacious sunroom. Upstairs are three generous bedrooms and two bathrooms – one with a delightful soaking tub. All four fireplaces work and one chimney has just been rebuilt above the new roof. Outside, relax in the garden house with summer cocktails or sauna on a snowy night. The garage barn has more than ample extra storage space. A vast network of abutting hiking trails invites exploration. The property is centrally located within a few miles of shopping, cultural and transportation hubs. Showings begin with Open House Sunday September 17, 11:30-2
