With a rich history spanning six decades within the same family, this farmhouse presents a rare opportunity to embrace New England living at its finest while leaving your mark on its storied legacy. This classic Farmhouse, built circa 1870, stands as a testament to timeless charm and historical significance from its oversized farmer's porch and traditional styling. Inside, the first floor welcomes you with high ceilings and generously proportioned rooms, including a living room, dining room, family room, and a spacious country-style eat-in kitchen. A full bathroom with a shower stall adds convenience to this level. On the second floor, you'll find four large bedrooms with ample closet space, and a cozy office. A full-size bathroom completes this floor. The third floor reveals two expansive, unheated bedrooms, offering potential for additional living space. Outside, a spacious yard, two-car garage, and picturesque views of Spy Pond enhance the appeal of this historic gem. It's timeless.
