Description

Come see this elegant move-in ready Antique Colonial filled with character & charm! Built in 1810, this lovingly maintained 2800 square foot home delights with spectacular detailing and original southern pine flooring throughout.
Enjoy the ideal flow of the first-floor main living areas beginning with a bright foyer with 12-foot ceilings welcoming you into the heart of the home: the original one-room schoolhouse. This sprawling Living Room, ideal for large family gatherings, is surrounded by oversized windows and contains an impressive wood-burning fireplace (equipped with a unique coat-warming closet). The adjacent sun-filled granite Kitchen with recessed lighting and double ovens conveniently opens into the Dining Room. A short corridor with a full bath, ample pantry and entrance to the basement leads to the Four-Season Room with glass sliders to the Patio. This room is encased in glass and overlooks the professionally landscaped 1.15-acre yard with enchanting stonewall border. The first floor is then completed by the recently renovated expansive Family Room with 10-foot vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, a handcrafted oak bar and an additional fireplace.
As you make your way upstairs, the vintage eyebrow window brings natural light into the stairway and second floor. The upper floor includes another full bath, 2 bedrooms and a linen closet. The large master (with 2 doors, 2 closets and 4 windows) was expanded by a previous owner but can quickly and easily be converted back to the houses original 3-bedroom design.
Additional features include abundant storage space inside & out with custom closets, built-in cabinets and a full basement with canning cellar. There is also a detached storage shed in the back yard. The exterior was freshly painted in the Summer of 2019. This home is situated in a quaint & family-oriented neighborhood (with a delightful Ice Cream Stand just around the corner - a local landmark and town favorite since 1967), close to town, nearby parks, schools, restaurants and shopping; just minutes away from major highways and only 30 miles to Boston.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
