About This Home

The views alone set this property apart! Perched to capture miles of sweeping countryside, this stunning 1895 farmhouse has been fully reimagined while preserving its timeless charm. Renovated down to the studs in 2023 and thoughtfully enhanced in 2024, the home offers modern efficiency, exceptional craftsmanship, and a setting that simply can’t be replicated. Inside, the 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath layout is both inviting and functional, featuring open living and dining spaces, a cozy fireplace, a built-in office nook, and a beautifully designed kitchen with a large island and abundant storage—perfect for everyday living or entertaining. Composite front and rear porches provide front-row seats to the breathtaking scenery. Two detached garages deliver rare flexibility: a convenient 2-car garage near the home, plus a second garage down the hill with 220V power and tandem space for up to four vehicles, ideal for hobbyists, storage, or a workshop. The full stacked-stone basement offers generous storage and includes a unique bonus room beneath the porch with a cozy speakeasy-style feel. A spacious unfinished attic with dormer windows presents exciting potential for future expansion. With efficient modern systems, extensive recent improvements, and unforgettable views in every direction, this one-of-a-kind property offers enduring value, character, and convenience—ready for its next chapter.
