Be prepared to fall in love, This is one gorgeous home!!!! Originally built in 1872 on a 204 acre dairy farm. Over the years the farm transitioned from dairy to cattle and then thoroughbred horses. The brick extension was added in 1980 with an European lime wash and the entire home was renovated to its current design in 2016. The property was brought down to a 1 acre lot and left the original footprint of the home. The wrap around porch is timeless. Authenticity is important so major renovations only included removing walls in kitchen to create the open concept, extension of primary bedroom created an ensuite bathroom with two vanities and the European walk-in tiled shower room. The extension was updated to create useful storage, an oversized laundry room and informal spaces that farm houses sometimes lack. A large room with a separate outdoor exit could be used as a home office or additional family room. The barn doors into this part of the house were added as a reminder of the homes history as a working farmhouse. The stone surround on the living room fireplace and stone back porch were quarried from the farm. There is a beautiful wood staircase in the front foyer as well as a rear staircase off the kitchen. Take a moment to admire this kitchen! Complete with an oversized island, ample cabinet space , pantry and still plenty of room for a table. The wood trim and bannisters throughout the home are some of the original pieces that so many try to duplicate. Once you make your way up stairs you will see the second level showcases beautiful woods floors leading you to 4 bedrooms and another staircase leading upstairs to another finished level that could be bedrooms, a gym , home office or playroom! The view from upstairs over the remaining farm land is unmatched. There is SO MUCH to see!! Call your favorite Realtor to schedule a tour.
