Welcome to this captivating c.1800 stone farmette, where timeless charm meets colorful garden splendor. Tucked away on 1.3 beautifully landscaped acres, this one-of-a-kind property offers a soul-soothing escape in a storybook setting. Inside, the home features a bright and airy layout with exposed beams, wide plank floors, and a dramatic stone fireplace anchoring the main living space. The original dining room and parlor retain their historic character, while a private in-law suite with a large bedroom and full bath on the first floor adds flexibility for extended family or guests. Two additional bedrooms grace the second floor, with a fully finished third floor offering charming sleeping quarters under the eaves. Garden lovers will fall head over heels, this property boasts the most vibrant, lovingly curated flower beds you’ll see. A stone pathway winds alongside the home through blooming borders, leading to a sunny back patio surrounded by lush plantings and bursts of color in every direction. Out back, the c.1900 stone-and-frame bank barn retains classic architectural details, with original beams, footholds, and stalls intact. The lower level is well preserved and functional, while the main floor offers tremendous storage or creative space. A chicken coop, currently home to hens and a proud rooster, and a root cellar add to the property's rustic charm. Though no longer standing, the original blacksmith shop's stone foundation remains at the edge of the lot, echoing the rich past of this early homestead. Recent updates include a newer roof and modern heating system, blending comfort with history. This property offers peace, beauty, and a deep sense of place, perfect for anyone looking to slow down and enjoy the simple, meaningful pleasures of country life.
