Be welcomed by the wrap around porch as you approach this charming Victorian painted lady, rounding the circular drive. Take in the flowers, white pine, dogwood, juniper, evergreen, apricot, and plum trees. As well as the fruit producing black and red cherry trees, all of which have been assessed by an arborist and deemed healthy. This is just the beginning of the landscape for this 9.44-acre property that has woods to either side, a fenced back area for the kids or pets, and backs up to an orchard. On the property is a historic barn with hewn beams and electricity. Additionally, there is a two-car garage with a newer, dedicated electric panel and overhead doors. From the garage, step onto the large paver patio to enter the house through the stained-glass backdoor. A full bathroom is conveniently located just as you step inside and just beyond is an elegant kitchen with ample counter space, newer cafe appliances, large windows that provide natural light, a copper apron sink, a pass through to the dining room that offers wine racks, shelves, and glass doors; built-ins, tin ceilings, an island with a bar sink, storage space, and hardwood floors. The dining room, on the other side of the kitchen receives the pass through with built in drawers beneath and boasts light and dark cherry inlaid wood floors made from cherry trees on the property. The dining room flooring flows into the foyer where guests can be received through the stately front door accessed by the wrap around porch. The wrap around porch provides entry to the sitting room and living room, as it extends across the entire front side of the home. The sitting and living rooms have hard wood floors, elegant lighting, and large windows. The living room has a bay window, an arched built-in with shelves and drawers that is nestled in the wall next to a fireplace with marble hearth and surround. The main floor bedroom can be accessed by both the living room and the kitchen. Ascend the stairs in the foyer to the large landing that provides a hall to the bedrooms. The hall is well lit by windows and elegant light fixtures. To one side is a bedroom with two exterior doors to the roof top. The other bedroom has an arched open closet. And yet another bedroom is across the spacious hall area. Also accessed by this hall is a full bathroom complete with a garden tub and skylight. Beyond this bathroom is a private bedroom that has a staircase that leads to the kitchen. Off of the kitchen is the basement entrance. The basement is made of a stone foundation. The basement offers abundant storage, a well with a new tank (2022), two furnaces, a whole house dehumidifier, and laundry. Woodwork, wood panel walls, and hardwood floors abound throughout the home. These features, coupled with period appropriate light fixtures, ornamental accents, stained and beveled glass windows, showcase the historic timelessness of this beautiful home. This home is 166 years old but has only had seven owners. The home has been tested for lead and lead abatement has been completed for the home. Additional photos are forthcoming.
