From the Zillow listing:

 

Own a piece of history! Dating back to 1790, this extraordinary stone home is overflowing with the kind of character, craftsmanship, and charm that simply can’t be recreated. Tucked away on 1.35 private acres, the setting feels wonderfully secluded, creating your own little escape from the everyday. The moment you see the timeless stone exterior and expansive covered porch, you know this is something special. Step inside and the history continues with exposed beams, beautiful stone walls, original-style built-ins, and six fireplaces adding architectural interest throughout the home. Every room seems to have a story to tell, with centuries-old details giving the home an unmistakably warm and inviting atmosphere. Offering 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, the home blends its historic personality with modern comforts including gas heat and ductless air conditioning. The six fireplaces are currently non-functioning but remain stunning focal points and reminders of the home’s remarkable past. Outside, the 1.35-acre setting provides plenty of room to relax, entertain, garden, or simply enjoy the peace and privacy from that incredible covered porch. This isn’t your everyday house—it’s a home with more than 235 years of history woven into its walls. If you’ve dreamed of owning an authentic stone home filled with warmth, charm, and one-of-a-kind architectural details, this may be the one you’ve been waiting for.
