Description

Steeped in history and set on over four acres of richly cultivated land, this classic Greek Revival house (c.1854) offers a rare blend of period craftsmanship and modern comfort. Original wide-plank pine floors run throughout, complemented by carefully recreated solid-wood trim matching the home’s original millwork. Two parlors, separated by original folding doors, provide flexible living and entertaining space, with one opening to an expansive ~700-square-foot screened porch featuring a cathedral beamed ceiling. In the north parlor, two original oil paintings on wood panels remain beneath the windows—one depicting the tools of the home’s architect, whose name remains inscribed, the pair executed by a single artist, preserving a rare and intimate connection to the home’s origins. The home offers three bedrooms, including a primary suite with cathedral ceilings, exposed beams, and an in-room sink. One full bath is supplemented by a basement shower and toilet. Attic access from the primary bedroom provides additional storage. Two fireplaces add character: a non-functioning fireplace in the kitchen and a gas fireplace in the dining area. Modern systems include two furnaces and two central air systems (attic and basement), allowing climate control without intrusive ductwork, plus a backup generator. Laundry is located in the basement. Outbuildings include a classic 1870s bank barn, hog barn, pole barn, three-car garage, and a former summer kitchen—now a well-equipped garden workroom with built-in cabinetry, tool hooks, and shelving. Constructed in traditional timber-frame post-and-beam, both house and barn reflect enduring craftsmanship. The land features rich black loam soil, two fenced garden areas, and over 300 trees and shrubs, many heirloom varieties. Highlights include a formal peony garden, heirloom apple trees, arbor vitae, and original iris and peonies propagated over time. A rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully preserved historic property with exceptional grounds and lasting architectural character.
