Property Description
The Cottage Villa, circa 1875, has one of the finest views in town. Overlooking the Fenton River Valley, it has sweeping views of the Hanks Hill mill pond, its waterfall, and neighboring fields, stone walls, and woodlands. Built by Philo Hanks, a pioneer in the U.S. silk industry, this historic homestead is adorned with intricate architectural details, inside and out. The wraparound covered porch and stone patio are perfectly oriented to take in the grand vista. Mature landscaping surrounds the home, complemented by an outdoor shower, a deck, and 10'x12' shed. Inside the fenced-in garden there's an additional garden/tool shed (or chicken coop), along with multiple raised beds filled with richly-composted soil for fruits, vegetables, and perennials. Blueberry and raspberry bushes guarantee sweet summer times. A charming carriage house with a second story sits just off the deck and patio, offering a versatile extension of the outdoor living experience - ideal as a gathering space, studio, home office, or potential guest suite conversion. Inside, the home blends elegance and sophistication with modern functionality. Original features have been carefully preserved or restored, with updates designed to complement the historic character. The home features detailed trim work, wide board floors, high ceilings, impressive wood paneled doors, and tall windows throughout.
