DETAILS

Home Features

• The 2 bed / 1.5 bath Main House, designed by Connor Historic Design, reflects the elegance of an 1840s Greek Revival farmhouse while incorporating modern comforts.
• The living room centers on a classic Rumford fireplace, perfect for the snowy evenings while French doors open to a large-screened porch for summer enjoyment.
• Like a vintage New England home, a barn-style wing is attached to the main residence which houses a 3-car garage, paneled with cedar shiplap reminiscent of a genuine dairy barn. Above the garage is a whitewashed cedar-paneled loft, currently serving as a writer's studio and guest suite.
• The main house features custom woodwork, handcrafted cabinetry, and random-width plank floors with hand-forged nails and grass cloth wallpaper. The full-height basement offers expansion potential.
• The Guest House was built by the current owner's family in 1895—using walnut timbers harvested from the forest. Fully upgraded in 2015, the renovation blended historic features such as the original nickel door hinges, with contemporary amenities including custom-milled woodwork, Missoni and sisal carpeting, Clarence House wall coverings, and a striking black-marble bathroom. The home features 2 bedrooms, a sleeping loft, and 1.5 baths.
