As you drive up you will notice the 1-acre yard enclosed with a white picket fence, circular driveway, abundant landscaping, rebuilt porches, huge field stone foundation, and amazing mountain views. The farmhouse was built in 1890 and has been restored but modernized with new technology (all new wiring, electrical service, water lines, security system, and plumbing). As you enter the home you will notice the open floor plan, high ceilings, abundant natural light, and restored staircase, custom built ins, and original wormy chestnut floors! The four fireplaces on the main level are cladded with onyx and equipped with gas logs. The home has heat pumps for each level to ensure your comfort and interconnected smoke/CO alarms. There are four bedrooms with the primary on the main level and three full bathrooms (marble floors). Two bathrooms feature tubs and walk-in showers. The kitchen has been designed for those that love to cook and entertain. The kitchen includes an island with cooktop, double ovens, a copper sink, granite countertops, and bead board ceiling. There is a large pantry/laundry room and a six-camera security system. The yard encompasses a young orchard (apple, peach, cherry, and pear trees), a large deck, a new fire pit area, new sidewalks, a large three-year-old chicken coop, honeybee infrastructure, and grapevines. You will also see the carriage house that has undergone a major expansion to accommodate a 1.5 car tandem garage, a two-car drive around garage, and a new 1000 square foot guest house. The kitchen and living room are an open concept with 12' ceilings and a balcony. There is also a 1-acre lot that is perfect for a huge fresh vegetable garden. This 1890's Victorian farmhouse/guest house is unique so don't miss out.
