About this home
Step into a property where historic character meets endless potential! This beautifully updated 1788 farmhouse invites you to slow down, settle in, and build the lifestyle you've been dreaming about. From its classic architectural charm to its thoughtful modern updates, this home provides a solid foundation for your next chapter. Imagine cozy mornings by the woodstove, weekends hosting family and friends, or stepping across the street to snowshoe through public trust land to Hobbs Mill Pond. The property itself is an extraordinary resource, anchored by a two-story barn with a concrete foundation, a heated ground floor, and heavy-duty steel I-beams built to support heavy machinery on the second level—the ultimate setup for a trade workshop, studio, vehicle storage, or home business. Outside, the land is already working for you with a chicken coop, as well as an abundance of producing berry bushes, mature fruit trees, and perennial gardens. Whether your dream is launching a creative endeavor, pursuing a hands-on trade, growing your own food, or simply enjoying your cozy home, this estate gives you the space, structure, and freedom to bring it to life. Come discover the character, strength, and possibilities waiting for you! Curious? Interested? Call today for a private viewing or more information.
Farmhouse just waiting for restoration! Spacious dining and livingroom, attic, attached barn/garage with overhead storage, mature fruit trees in need of pruning, country location yet close to town.
