From the Zillow listing:

 

Once known as the Deacon Chesley house, this 1792 gem tells a story of centuries past with new renovations complementing its antique, unique charm. The first floor was completely and tastefully remodeled between 2016 and 2019. Once inside the main entrance, you are greeted with an expansive living/dining room full of windows leading your eye to the back yard and into the forest beyond. The hand-hewn timber frame is visible throughout this main room, in addition to the spacious attached art studio space with its own door to the front yard. A warm red color brightens the entryway floor, then leads your attention up the winding staircase to the two bedrooms above. Single-level living is very possible here with a 3/4 bathroom located just off the kitchen and two sizeable bedrooms off the main living area, each with their own 230-year-old fireplace! From the dining table, sliding doors beckon you out to the patio that is perfect for grilling, with a giant, elegant maple tree standing sentry at the lawn’s edge and offering shade on hot summer days. Plenty of garden space sits just to the east on easy-access, level ground. Claim this piece of Tamworth history as this family prepares to pass the torch to the next rightful stewards. The village is just a two-minute drive away and features the historic Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm, highly-acclaimed Barnstormers Theatre, and so much more. Enjoy a trip to the nearby Earle Remick Natural Area. Showings begin Sunday, August 17th.
