The Cottage Villa, circa 1875, has one of the finest views in town. Overlooking the Fenton River Valley, it has sweeping views of the Hanks Hill mill pond, its waterfall, and neighboring fields, stone walls, and woodlands. Built by Philo Hanks, a pioneer in the U.S. silk industry, this historic homestead is adorned with intricate architectural details, inside and out. The wraparound covered porch and stone patio are perfectly oriented to take in the grand vista. Mature landscaping surrounds the home, complemented by an outdoor shower, a deck, and 10'x12' shed. Inside the fenced-in garden there's an additional garden/tool shed (or chicken coop), along with multiple raised beds filled with richly-composted soil for fruits, vegetables, and perennials. Blueberry and raspberry bushes guarantee sweet summer times. A charming carriage house with a second story sits just off the deck and patio, offering a versatile extension of the outdoor living experience - ideal as a gathering space, studio, home office, or potential guest suite conversion. Inside, the home blends elegance and sophistication with modern functionality. Original features have been carefully preserved or restored, with updates designed to complement the historic character. The home features detailed trim work, wide board floors, high ceilings, impressive wood paneled doors, and tall windows throughout. The main level includes a grand foyer with a curved staircase, a front parlor with gliding pocket doors opening to the living room, a formal dining room, and a beautifully renovated kitchen with soapstone counters, custom cabinetry, wine fridge, and a cozy sitting area with a propane warming stove. A mudroom and a half bath with laundry appliances complete the first floor. All four bedrooms and two full bathrooms are located on the second level. The primary suite has its own full bath and a walk in dressing room/closet. The basement offers a wine cellar, built-in storage, and updated mechanicals. Modern upgrades include ductless heating/cooling throughout, a hybrid hot water heater, owned solar panels, a standby whole-house generator, and double paned windows - ensuring comfort and efficiency without compromising the home's timeless charm.
