The Jason Mixter House c. 1834 is a classic high style Greek Revival home with Colossal Doric Order columns at the front. The interior is filled with spacious grand rooms, lofty ceilings and elegant moldings throughout. The main house has 12 rooms featuring sunlit spaces with floor length windows, 8 fireplaces all remarkably preserved with the historic detail intact. A connected cottage (converted from an attached barn) has five rooms and could be restored for a 2nd dwelling or other uses. There is an attached carriage house with 4 large bays plus workrooms and a detached two car garage. This home is ready for a significant restoration with mechanical systems that need updating, including the replacement of the septic system (design in hand). Set on 3+ acres offering lawn, gardens, mature trees and stone walls, it is just a short walk to the town common. Come discover why Hardwick is considered by many to be a quintessential New England Community.
