Discover this hidden treasure in this extraordinary Antique homestead set on 2.47 acres of natural beauty and privacy. Surrounded on all sides by protected DCR land and built in 1760~this original post-and-beam Buck Homestead blends timeless character with the rare serenity of its setting. A welcoming, oversized farmer’s porch wraps around three-quarters of the home with decking, offering multiple spots to relax and take in the landscape. Enjoy a stunning babbling brook that winds along the rear boundary, complete with granite and stone formations that create a soothing, year-round soundtrack. Designed to function comfortably as a single-family home with an in-law setup, the property offers two distinct living spaces. Enter into main hall/mudroom to the first-floor unit with 2BR/2 BA/LR/DR/kitchen and office, and 2nd floor is 3 BR/3BA/LR/kitchen with cathedral ceiling wood stove, loft, and a 3-season porch overlooking the brook.
