About This Home
**Now PRICED TO MOVE!** Nestled on nearly 7 serene acres, this unique historic property welcomes you with timeless character and remarkable architectural charm—from the inviting home to the classic four-gable barn standing proudly nearby. Begin your tour through the full-glass enclosed porch, where hardwood beadboard ceilings and tongue-and-groove plank floors set a warm, nostalgic tone. Inside, a charming hearth room and formal dining room draw you in, while the spacious kitchen—complete with center island and a cozy breakfast room—opens to tranquil views across the north-facing deck and private grounds. The main level features two generous bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a flexible room with laundry hookups that can serve as a functional landing or an additional bedroom. Upstairs, two more bedrooms with hardwood floors and abundant storage offer peaceful retreat. A full, unfinished basement provides bathroom amenities and ample room for storage, workshops, or future possibilities. Originally crafted with hand-hewn lumber milled on the property itself, this home has stood with admirable strength for 135 years—a testament to the craftsmanship of its era. A property like this is best experienced in person. Schedule your tour today and discover the history, beauty, and quiet magic this estate offers.
