Beautifully renovated antique colonial on 4.5 private acres with a tumbling brook. Hardwood floors and original beams throughout, two wood- burning fireplaces, custom lighting, original wide-plank floors in some rooms, and a gorgeous, country kitchen with built-in appliances, including a warming drawer. The formal dining room anchors the heart of the home, with a small private study for multiple uses on one side, and a large living room on the other side. Every room shows loving attention to detail and comfort. Added onto throughout the years, the house flows comfortably. The original cottage, connected by a light-filled inner hallway with hardwood floors, offers a lovely family room or second living room, with a wood fireplace, a full bath that includes an imported English claw-foot soaking tub, and a cozy upstairs bedroom for guests. There are two large barns: one is a combination garage, tool shed, and wood shed. The other, built using the chestnut beams from the original barn on the property, is capacious, with a cement floor and truly endless possibilities. Gorgeous antique stone walls and perennial gardens abound, and the property is private and protected in the back by its natural landscape. Split air conditioning and a generator assist with comfort without sacrificing authenticity. Close to town and 20 minutes to the Ten Mile River Train Station. This home has been beautifully maintained, and will be standing long after any of our new houses are long gone. Turn Key!
