The main residence features 4,420 square feet of living space filled with original features and carefully preserved details, including solid two-panel doors, tall ceilings, original exposed beams, wide plank floors, vintage kitchen cubbies, extensive built-ins, and walk-in closets throughout the bedrooms and bathrooms. The renovated kitchen anchors the home with updated cabinetry, countertops, refinished floors, exposed beams, and a butler's pantry just off the kitchen. The first-floor primary suite includes a beautifully renovated bath with heated floors, double vanities, and a large shower with a Euro glass door. The 1st floor also includes a 2nd full bath, a large office or 2nd bedroom, and a comfortable dining/family room. The Carriage House Wing creates a dramatic gathering space with a Napoleon woodstove set in a stone fireplace, double-volume ceilings, a quaint loft office with custom built-ins, handmade tin chandelier and sconces, and a practical fully enclosed lean-to that functions beautifully as a mudroom and winter wood-storage area. The 2nd level features 3 generous bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and laundry room, while the 3rd floor offers a large flex space and additional storage. Throughout the home, custom-fitted interior glass storm windows improve efficiency while preserving the beauty of the original windows. Year around comfort is provided by a geothermal HVAC system. The exterior is just as notable, with excellent stonework, copper gutters, functional lightning rods, architectural woodwork on the expansive front porch, and a well-maintained white picket fence. Mature maple trees frame the property with exceptional fall color, while established gardens offer flowering varieties throughout the seasons. The land invites a slower, more connected way of living: a native wildflower prairie with maintained walking paths, a shaded picnic spot with fire pit, an enclosed raised-bed kitchen garden, fruit trees & blueberry bushes, a clothesline for crisp linens, and a large fenced area currently used as a dog run. A secondary driveway with a quaint lane adds character and convenient access to the Guest Cottage. Set next to the main house, the Guest Cottage provides a welcoming and private space for visitors, extended family, creative use, or retreat-style living. It features a large porch, full bathroom, four-season heating (propane) and cooling, a kitchenette, Hunter Douglas blinds for privacy, exposed oak beams, tall ceilings, and hardwood floors throughout. A truly distinctive feature of the property, the Pizza Studio is designed for memorable entertaining and hands-on culinary experiences. The commercial wood-fired Forno Bravo pizza oven is ideal for making pizzas, roasting meats, baking breads, canning, sausage making, and gathering with friends and family. With ample room for food prep, a large walk-in pantry, a full bathroom with walk-in shower, and indoor-outdoor flow for large groups, this space turns entertaining into an experience and includes four season heating (propane) and cooling. The property includes additional useful and charming outbuildings, including a Big Red Barn, Workshop (where sellers park a vehicle), Milk Room, and Chicken Coop. These spaces support a wide range of lifestyle uses, from storage and hobbies to gardening, animals and workshop projects. The big red barn has a newer roof and roof decking, a recent structural inspection, electrical panel and lighting, and water point in the barn basement. Enjoy gorgeous sunrises, sunsets and starlit night skies from this magical property - you will not be disappointed!
