Bucolic, romantic, a one and only home of dreams: An 1812 bank barn and carriage house transformed to accommodate the family of the 21st century. Carriages once came into what is now a 2 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath gem of the lovely 2 1/2 story home. The main barn inspires with its grand heights and soaring stone walls. Below it, where horse stalls once commanded space, there is an amazing workshop. The fully finished heated and cooled 2nd floor of the 2-car garage serves now as up-to-date offices that connect over the porte cochere to the barn.
