About This Property

This circa-1840 Greek Revival farmhouse offers the rare opportunity to enjoy historic charm and craftsmanship with the functionality of a modern home. Thoughtfully renovated and expanded over time, this is a turnkey property where the hard work is all done. Set back from the road on an expansive property, the home offers added privacy, space and curb appeal rarely found in historic farmhouses. A substantial 2010 addition seamlessly integrated a spacious kitchen, cathedral-ceiling great room and usable basement space designed for today's lifestyle while preserving the home's timeless architectural character. Natural light fills the home, highlighting exposed original wood beams, wide plank pine floors, eyebrow and transom windows, and a columned portico. The kitchen blends style with modern functionality, featuring Shaker cabinetry, a center island with seating and storage, and a generous pantry with built-in shelving. The flexible floor plan includes a first-floor bedroom with dual closets and pocket doors alongside an updated full bath, offering ideal guest or single-level living options. The formal living room centers around a cozy gas fireplace. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a full bath, with peaceful treetop and landscape views throughout. The finished lower level adds valuable living space with a large bedroom, laundry room and convenient Bilco door access, while the unfinished area provides abundant storage. Outside, the grounds feature 25 species of trees and shrubs, perennial gardens and fenced garden beds, creating a peaceful setting. A detached two-car garage includes a heated and air-conditioned second-floor office with a custom desk, ideal for remote work, studio space or creative pursuits. Located in a walkable neighborhood near the bike path and just one mile from the Vischer Ferry Nature Preserve and Vischer Ferry General Store, this beautifully preserved and extensively updated property offers a rare blend of historic authenticity and modern ease.
