About This Home

Built in 1753, the Robie house sits on a sunny, south-facing knoll on 74+/- of the prettiest acres with rolling fields, a pond, fruit trees, incredible blooming flowers throughout the spring and summer and meandering trails through the woods. The 3200-sf home has been improved and added onto over the past 37 years by the current owners. A classic center chimney colonial, the home has 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, a living room, dining, keeping room, office and a large, country kitchen that is part of an addition using a local antique frame that has been seamlessly incorporated. Above the kitchen is a spacious primary suite with a corner gas fireplace, walk-in closet, ceramic tile bath with Jacuzzi soaking tub and a glass walk-in shower with multiple shower heads. Original features include raised paneling, exposed hand-hewn beams, wide pine floors throughout, original paneled doors and hardware, and five fireplaces including one with a beehive oven. A screened room with grill nook and screened gazebo invite you to relax while enjoying the beautiful pastoral setting of gardens, fenced pastures, and fields. The attached barn was re-built and has parking for at least three cars, extensive workshop space and insulated storage above that could be finished for additional living space. The detached horse barn currently has two stalls, an aisle as well as an overhang for equipment storage. A whole house generator and fiber optic internet provide convenience and reliability.
