Some homes have history, this one has presence. Dating to the late 1700s, this remarkable stone home sits amid beautiful, scenic acreage where stacked stone walls, a graceful semicircular gravel driveway, and a winding fieldstone walkway create an unforgettable first impression. Two inviting covered front porches offering serene vistas of the expansive front yard, hint at the character waiting inside. A stone pathway leads to the lower porch, framed by handsome tapered posts and opens through triple French doors to the living and dining rooms, creating an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living. An impressive big foyer with terrazzo tile flooring, leads to a tastefully remodeled open kitchen designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with a large window over the sink and cathedral beamed ceilings soar overhead, while dramatic angled transom windows draw in natural light and frame views of the surrounding landscape. A cozy breakfast nook with an island for prep and seating featuring terrazzo tile floors add a touch of sophistication. A sliding door opens up to a stone patio, further extending your living space outdoors. The living room is open to the dining area, all anchored by a striking fireplace with a substantial wood mantel, exposed beams, slate flooring and detailed millwork throughout the home reflects the craftsmanship of another era. A practical first-floor layout includes a laundry room, powder room, a pantry, and a utility closet with a new water softener, blending modern convenience with the home's enduring character. The second level unveils two bedrooms, each with hardwood flooring and exposed beams. An impressive stone wall with an original fireplace and built-ins grace bedroom two. Double doors lead out to the covered front porch, offering a tranquil retreat. A full bath completes this level. While the entire top floor is reserved for a private primary suite complete with its own outdoor deck, office nook, vaulted ceiling, hardwood flooring, a double closet and an en-suite bath. In all, the home offers three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths. Inside, every room feels thoughtfully composed. While rich in history, the house lives beautifully for today, balancing period architecture with comfortable gathering spaces and timeless style. Whether enjoying coffee on the porch, dining on the stone patio, or simply taking in the peaceful setting, this is a home that celebrates its remarkable past while embracing everyday life.
