Description
What do you get when you blend nostalgic charm with the artistic eye and creative flair of a renowned interior designer? A home that you can truly treasure... the Robert Fairchild House, circa 1730 on charming Main Street. With 2800 square feet of bright, livable space, designer details draw you in with beautiful wallpapered rooms celebrating wide plank chestnut floors, crown and raised paneling, custom window treatments, 4 fireplaces and 2 stairwells. The main level offers quiet places for contemplation, hardworking spaces and gathering places for family and friends. The second floor houses a master bedroom suite with dressing room. Two additional well-sized bedrooms & full bath complete the second floor. The walk-up attic, currently unfinished, offers abundant storage or possible expansion. The home has been updated with newer furnace, oil tank, hot water heater and cedar shake roof. The home is situated on over 1.5 acres, and includes a two car detached garage with loft. The level back yard, which is surprisingly private, includes mature trees & a brook.
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.
