Description

Situated on 8 picturesque acres, this enchanting stone farmhouse is a historic treasure dating back to 1870. It seamlessly blends pastoral tranquility with modern comforts. Originally a dairy farm, then a thriving cherry farm, and most recently a well-appointed horse or animal farm, this property offers an idyllic setting to realize your dreams. The farmhouse exudes timeless charm with its deep window sills and wood floors. A spacious and inviting eat-in kitchen is highlighted by cherry cabinets, and a large island with stools, Corian counters, and a tumbled marble backsplash. The kitchen features GE Profile appliances, including double ovens and a brand-new refrigerator, a Viking cooktop with a downdraft venting to the outside, and a Bosch dishwasher. On the main level, you'll find a formal living and dining room area with 9-foot ceilings and beautiful wooden built-ins. Delight in the vintage touches, including French doors, built-in cubbies, and a stained glass window. There is a comfortable family room known as the Spindle Room, a generously sized mudroom, and a convenient powder room. An additional exit leads to a charming covered porch with a relaxing porch swing. The second floor features four bedrooms, including the primary bedroom with a private ensuite full bath. A bright hall bath serves the other three large bedrooms, while a versatile bonus room adjacent to the primary suite can be used as a nursery, office, or additional bedroom. A walk-up stairway leads to a floored attic offering ample storage space, including a walk-in cedar closet. The basement includes a wonderful summer kitchen with direct access to the patio and pool area, offering a myriad of creative possibilities. The acreage features sturdy fenced pastures, a lovely bank barn and run-in shed with water access, a quaint milk house, a cozy chicken coop, and a versatile four-stall row barn built in 2017, all contributing to the property's agricultural essence. In additon to the pastures, once you cross the sparkling creek, you will find expansive space for more animals, crop growing, or whatever your dreams desire. The focal point of this area is the mesmerizing pond previously used for fishing and ice skating overlooking the scenic field. It is quite lovely to say the least! Entertain or relax in style with a separately heated cement pool and hot tub, and generously sized patios and gazebo. The property has been updated with efficient systems, including an electric heat pump and central air, and a new well pump installed in 2019. This delightful property is conveniently located minutes from the Northeast Extension of the turnpike, award-winning schools, and other amenities. This home offers a unique sense of space, functionality, craftsmanship, and ambiance that presents a lifetime opportunity! It is a truly must see!
