Description:

Perfectly Imperfect Updated Antique Gem on 3.3 bucolic acres surrounded by protected land, where many birds and other wildlife can be enjoyed. This historic home has so many charms, including exposed beams and original chestnut flooring. It has been lovingly updated and maintained without visibly changing its historic nature. One owner is a professional landscape architect and has filled the property with many native trees and plants and created a pastoral butterfly meadow where year after year monarchs have returned. Two vegetable gardens, as well as, a fruit orchard with apples, pears, peaches, and plums. Blueberries, raspberries, and concord grapes keep the owners fed from early Spring until late fall. A small bluestone patio under a wisteria and dutchmen's pipe-planted arbor between the house and a charming Summer House create great shade and outdoor seating. Three outbuildings sit on the property: a small barn/garage, a chicken coop (without chickens), and a Summer House with a new cedar roof and bluestone flooring; great to enjoy and entertain in during the summer months. The house itself currently consists of three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms. The first floor contains a living room with original exposed timbers, an 18th century Rumford fireplace along with bread oven, wide-board oak flooring, an open cathedral ceiling and loft area. The spacious dining room comes with a corner cupboard. The updated cozy eat-in kitchen has a Bertazzoni dual fuel range,
