About This Home

This well maintained 1750 Colonial blends three centuries of character with systematic 2021-2025 upgrades, offering a rare balance of historic integrity and modern reliability. Situated along a peaceful stream, the property features a newly installed 2025 perimeter fence encompassing approximately one acre of level ground, providing a secure and functional space for dogs, chickens, and gardening. The lot is over 7 acres and provides a myriad of creatures within your view. The exterior was extensively restored in 2025, including the replacement of one-third of the original wood siding, a full repaint, and the installation of new, historically appropriate windows. A durable shingle-style metal roof was added in 2021, ensuring long-term protection. Inside, the home centers around a period-correct kitchen designed for modern utility, featuring soapstone countertops, a copper sink, a gas stove, stainless appliances, and a central island with seating. Windows in the kitchen frame the natural landscape, while the adjacent Butler's Pantry and laundry room offer convenient backyard access. The main floor boasts expansive living and dining rooms anchored by two original fireplaces—serviced by a chimney professionally rebuilt in 2021—and a modern 3/4 bath with a glass and stone walk-in shower. Upstairs holds three bedrooms and a full bathroom. Throughout the home, original wide pine floors have been freshly refinished. Mechanical peace of mind is provided by a 2021 forced hot air furnace and updated 200-amp electrical system, and new Geo Max 62 septic in 2023. From the enclosed porch to the stream-side seating, this home functions as a private retreat while serving as a sturdy, updated residence. All major systems, from the roof and windows to the electrical and heating, have been addressed within the last five years, ready for you to move in and enjoy the heritage, and continue to tinker and this beauty heads towards her 300th birthday!
