18 Old Queechy Road

Originally built in the year 1800 on one the areas most historically significant roads lies this delightful antique farmhouse brimming with original details and charm. Perched above the road with its wrap around porch you are immediately transported to a simpler time where quality and beauty mattered. Further selling the vision, the periphery of your view is flanked with mature trees and one of two large barns providing a nostalgic aesthetic and endless opportunities. The barn closer to the home contains a garage for sheltered parking and the ability to create a guest house, work studio, private gym or anything you can dream up. In fact, there's room for all of those options within the same structure. A serene hilltop view in the distance beckons you to walk through the more than five and half acres of lawn, meadow and fruit trees to the second barn structure to continue dreaming up the possibilities. Currently this space is absolutely perfect to host outdoor dinner parties and gatherings with a bucolic view. The interior experience begins in the entry parlor, anchored by a traditional wood-burning stove. Original wide plank painted floors flow seamlessly into a spacious dining area bathed in natural light. Adjacent to this space, the modernized kitchen offers optimized storage solutions and updated appliances. The main level extends toward the rear of the residence, where the family room features stunning beamed ceilings that evoke a historical atmosphere. Completing this floor is a versatile adjoining room, ideally suited for guest accommodations or a home office and also conveniently hosts the laundry room. Up the wooden stairwell from the entry parlor 3 bedrooms and a bathroom surround the landing which has enough room to be its own library/reading space. The bedrooms are quite large for the era continuing this property's themes of charm, beauty and modern comfort.
