Description
Rich in history, character and charm, this amazing Antique incorporates comfortable livability and makes entertaining easy. In this First Period home - known locally as the "house with the orange shutters" and cherished by one family since 1962- the flow-through floor plan amidst overly generous rooms is accented with magnificent architectural highlights such as wide pine floors and 4 grand fireplaces creating a captivating ambiance to delight family and guests. Celebrations - small and large - will be memorable in the spectacular sunroom with a greenhouse-like ceiling and floor-to-ceiling glass wall that overlooks the lush yard with a 300+ year old beech tree and connects to a huge fireplaced family room with exposed ceiling beams and a large more formal living room also with a fireplace. The kitchen with a separate pantry and casual dining area is adjacent to a front-to-back dining room with horizontal wainscoting, built-in cupboard and exposed ceiling beams. 1st floor office is an added convenience. Two of the spacious bedrooms upstairs have stunning fireplaces and huge closets. The primary suite has a dressing room with a room-size walk-in closet. In addition to a separate 2-car garage (with electricity) offering ample room for storage and a workshop, this sun-filled home with its new roof, insulation and upgraded electric is ready for today and tomorrow.
