Welcome to Hennessey Farm, where heritage, craftsmanship, and modern living converge. Once a 60-plus-acre working dairy farm, this storied property was thoughtfully subdivided in 1980 and later transformed into a reimagined farmhouse Cape that has been restored, expanded, and elevated for the 21st century. Every inch of this home has been intentionally loved. The current owners approached each enhancement with reverence for the past and an eye toward timeless design. Reclaimed barnwood from the original horse stables now warms the custom kitchen cabinetry, while the solid chestnut front doors, crafted from beams salvaged from the original 1800s structure, announce both history and heart the moment you arrive. A brand-new septic system and a 2025 addition blend seamlessly with the historic envelope. Inside, expanded ceiling heights, natural textures, and an inviting, grounded aesthetic create a true sense of home. Step outside, and the property unfolds into its own private compound. A beautiful detached office, perfect for creative or remote work, adjoins a two-car garage with impressive 14-foot ceilings, an ideal space for collectors, hobbyists, or future expansion. Hennessey Farm is far more than a Cape Cod farmhouse. It is a thoughtfully reimagined heirloom, an 1800s structure renewed for modern life without sacrificing the soul that makes it unforgettable.
