The first floor offers a well designed layout featuring a living room, dining room, eat in kitchen, family room, mudroom, and a full bath.

Rich in original detail, the home showcases four working fireplaces and a wood stove, wide plank floors, soapstone countertops and a classic wood shingle roof. Known as the Richard Nichols farmstead, this property is a rare and authentic example of early architecture.
