Built in 1835 by Henry & Ann Nichols, this historic colonial sits on 2.56 wooded acres, blending timeless character with some modern updates. You'll love the exposed stone walls, walk-in fireplace with wood stove, and peaceful natural setting. The updated kitchen features granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Other improvements include a newer stainless chimney liner, rain gutters with guards, waterproofed basement, 200-amp electric, new well pump, and newer septic. A 1989 addition created a spacious primary bedroom with vaulted ceilings, skylight, and second-floor laundry. Access to the third bedroom is through an adjoining 2nd bedroom. A bonus flex space offers the perfect spot for a home office or creative nook Relax on the composite wraparound porch or rear deck overlooking the woods, or stroll your private walking trail. Enjoy privacy with easy access to Marsh Creek Lake and the Struble Trail. The oversized detached garage offers space for two cars, a workshop, and attic storage. A rebuilt 25x12 “he/she” shed with bluestone floors, oak beams, cedar windows, and 220V power is perfect for hobbies or creative work. The grounds are filled with peonies, hydrangeas, holly, magnolia, and abundant wildlife. While part of the lot is in a flood zone, the house is not, and no flood insurance is required. Don’t miss the chance to own this one-of-a-kind piece of history—schedule your private showing today!
