Built in 1849, the farmhouse showcases original architectural details that reflect the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Inside, you’ll find wide plank floors, hand-hewn beams, and preserved mortise-and-tenon construction. The home features built-in cabinets, cozy nooks, and ample storage for wood, china, and pantry goods. A walk-in pantry with slate pavers, a historic cistern and water catchment system, and remnants of an antique stove and oven add to its character.
While a past chimney fire led to partial removal of the chimney, the rafters have been reinforced, and the home remains sturdy and square. Two areas are ready for woodstoves, ensuring warmth and comfort. Throughout the home, traces of its history remain—vintage wallpaper fragments, old pencil marks from past generations, and a design that reflects the care and love poured into it over the decades.
This farmhouse is a rare find, brimming with potential for restoration. If you appreciate history and craftsmanship, this is an opportunity you won’t want to miss.
