From the Zillow listing:
Originally built in 1782, this Flemish Bond brick Colonial home is the embodiment of simple elegance. Restored with the utmost historical respect in the mid-1980’s and modernized with preservation-sensitive practices and materials over the past eight years by the current stewards of the home, step into the past while enjoying today’s comforts. The four-bay home has a traditional floor plan with the living and dining room flanking the center foyer hall, a large sunken family room anchored by the massive hearth – reconstructed with original bricks from the 1782 structure and walnut mantel, and a kitchen and sunroom addition on the back of the home, added between the mid-80’s and early-90’s. The kitchen was afforded another renovation around 2007 with high end finishes and an open, welcoming concept ideal for functionality and entertaining. Follow the original staircase upstairs, running your hand along the centuries old banister to the two guest bedrooms which share a generous bathroom off the second story landing. Closets have been incorporated in the landing and bedrooms to allow for modern storage solutions, all while using period specific paneling to replicate the historic aspects of the original design scheme and hardware of the 1790s. The primary suite, accessed by its own staircase, consists of a one-bay bedroom, dressing room with laundry, and an en suite bath overlooking the rear yard. Modern comfort conveniences including two year new HVAC units, preservation-sensitive insulation, professionally restored windows with new storm windows, and two brand new wood stoves round out the incredible features that make this home low maintenance and turn-key. The studio barn, accessed by its own leveled gravel drive and parking pad, is a two story, two bay garage, with an interior but separate workshop. Since 2018 it has been insulated, drywalled, painted, had its own dedicated water, high-voltage electric, and fiber optic internet lines run, and had a pellet stove installed. Situated on 6.8 serene acres, the current Ag zoning allows for a reasonable annual tax benefit, adding to the appeal of the rural lifestyle. The grounds have a mature boxwood hedge, a perimeter of pines, fallow pastures which fill with wildflowers throughout the summer, wandering paths to birdwatch, and scattered perennials which pop up each spring with a burst of color and personality.
