From the original front staircase to the wide board floors to the three fireplaces (two with bake ovens) to the 12 over 8 windows to the warm feather edge board & raised paneling this home has it all. The two front parlors and old kitchen all have a fireplace. The modern kitchen blends in beautifully with the antiquity of the home. An additional room on the first floor is large & could double as an addition bedroom or anything your heart desires. The back & front staircases lead to 2 ample bed chambers. A full bath is on both the first & second floors. The 18th century barn is stunning.
