Time stands still in this extraordinary 2-acre, park-like setting evoking a Maxfield Parrish landscape. This incredibly-preserved 1854 Colonial-Victorian farmhouse in Merryall is enveloped by stone walls, mature plantings, towering 200-year-old oaks, an ancient Japanese maple, blossoming cherry trees, and a massive 4' wide Eastern White Pine standing sentry - all abutting 250+ acres of NCLC open space. Step from the peastone driveway onto the charming gingerbread porch, with its floor-to-ceiling windows, into the main stairway hall. The main level features original wide-plank pine floors, exposed beams, two wood-burning fireplaces, a formal parlor (with working fireplace), an office with built-in bookcases, a reading room, a formal dining room, and eat-in kitchen with newer appliances. A spacious living room with a fieldstone fireplace and vaulted ceiling overlooks rolling emerald meadows and picturesque woods, complemented by two back porches, including one fully screened and ideal for outdoor dining. There's a main-level laundry room and half-bath off the kitchen, and an additional full bathroom off the living room. Upstairs, discover four bedrooms-including a primary en suite-alongside two newer full baths, a rear staircase to kitchen, and new carpet over original fir flooring. Complete with walk-up attic, standby generator, a full basement for mechanicals, & brand-new central AC. This historic treasure perfectly blends storybook romance with modern comfort. A must see.
