Description
Step back in time and experience the charm of this beautifully preserved Victorian home, offering 2,800 square feet of living space filled with character and timeless elegance. Set on a meticulously landscaped 2.34-acre mini-estate, this property is a rare find with a perfect blend of period details and modern comforts. The main level features a spacious kitchen with granite countertops, a pantry, and a classic cast iron woodstove, along with a half bath for convenience. Entertain in the formal dining room, relax in the parlor, and enjoy gatherings in the living room, all adorned with original woodwork, trim, and vintage velour wallpaper. A first-floor bedroom adds flexibility for guests or one-level living. Upstairs, you'll find four bedrooms with gleaming wood floors and two full bathrooms. The third floor offers a large, light-filled unfinished space with endless possibilities for additional living area, studio, or home office. The detached barn features two finished office spaces on the lower level. Above, a 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment could be an income-producing rental. The barn froze 2024, plumbing, heating and boiler needs replacement. Two garages provide ample storage—one for the main house and another on the adjoining lot, which includes its own septic system and drilled well. Enjoy the outdoors with 238 feet of frontage on Spear Stream, six heritage apple trees, oriental pear trees, blueberries, blackberries, and perennial gardens. Relax on the large front porch with its grand colonnade beams, unwind in the gazebo or on the side porch, and find tranquility in your own sauna retreat.
