Property Description
This historic all stone 3 Bedroom 2.1 bath farmhouse (Circa 1760 with later additions) is utterly charming and beautifully maintained throughout. On 1.95 acres, with a gorgeous view of a nearby pond, the home also offers a restored summer kitchen, wagon house with parking for 4+ cars and storage, an outdoor stone fireplace, outdoor terraces, stone retaining walls, beautiful plantings and old shade trees, and a long driveway approach. The main house is graced with tall ceiling height, deep sill windows, beautiful pine board floors, three staircases, and 6 working fireplaces. Enter through an entrance hall with staircase, a darling newer powder room with a mother of pearl mosaic sink, and flanked by the formal living room (mid 1800's) with fireplace and a gracious dining room (1790) with access to an outdoor terrace. A cozy kitchen and breakfast area are well designed with cabinetry by William Draper, a Subzero, Jennair range, built-in pantry storage, and charming corner fireplace. The earliest section (1760-65) is an inviting library/den, with built-in cabinetry and bookcases, open beams, fireplace, butterfly staircase, and door to the outside. Above is the original bedroom, now en-suite, with deep closets and a bath with pedestal sink, jetted tub with shower head, and old board floors. Two additional spacious bedrooms, one with built-ins, and both with fireplaces and closet systems, share a beautiful new bath by Sweetbriar Designs, with a shower w/ specialty tile and frameless door, and vanity with hand-painted sink. A hallway area and segue from one section to the other is a convenient home office. A full walk-up attic has ample storage and a cedar closet. The lower level is the site of the original kitchen, with large stone walk-in fireplace, herringbone brick floors, specialty lighting, & doors to the outside lower terrace- a perfect space for entertaining or wine tasting! The detached summer kitchen is fabulous ? with pickled paneling and wood flooring, large decorative walk-in fireplace, vaulted ceiling w/chandelier, specialty lighting, & heat and air conditioning ? presently an office but a fabulous retreat for any purpose! Outdoor living is at its finest on this spectacular property with protected views in every direction, upper and lower terraces, and a breathtaking view of a sparkling pond.
