Description
This is a rare opportunity to own a historic three-bedroom home, along with a two-bedroom guest
house, plus a newer separate building comprising a workshop, office, storage, and an inground saltwater pool. This beautiful property is a piece of local history with parts of the home dating from colonial times and is
significant enough to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places! The stone section of the house
was built in 1706 by the Van Dyke family and in 1800s the second section was built...This is a rare opportunity to own a historic three-bedroom home, along with a two-bedroom guest
house, plus a newer separate building comprising a workshop, office, storage, and an inground saltwater pool. This beautiful property is a piece of local history with parts of the home dating from colonial times and is
significant enough to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places! The stone section of the house
was built in 1706 by the Van Dyke family and in 1800s the second section was built as a separate home. The two parts were later combined and as you walk through the home, you are sure to notice the
impressive stone walls that separated the buildings. Entering the “younger” section from the home from the charming side porch, the mud room provides
storage as well as a spot to eat or relax. The kitchen, custom designed and built, has lots of storage and
counter space. The island is home to a prep sink, dishwasher and microwave, and the farmhouse style
sink adds rustic flair. Behind the kitchen is a cozy sitting room, where you can enjoy the views of the rear
yard. Leading into the older part of the home, you step down through the former exterior wall and enter a
breathtaking great room with seating and dining spaces. Note original details such as the large fireplace
with deep wood mantel, pot arm, and nook for pots. The wide stone hearth, like the rest of the home
was built from “field stones”, think of the stories they could tell. The Dutch barn-style front door is
typical for farmhouses of this age, facilitating cross breezes throughout the house. The dining area has a
wood-burning stove for added ambiance. On the second floor of this section of the house, there are two bedrooms, note the original beams and
the exposed stone of the chimneys. The hallway has ample storage including hanging areas and pull-out
drawers. Traversing through the stone wall back into the “younger” section, one can really appreciate
the durability of the construction of the original home, with the thickness of these walls. A step up and we are at the top of the second flight of stairs in the home. In this section is the hall bath
and the primary bedroom suite. The hall bath has been updated and has paneling detail around the
room. Open the closet and discover the laundry! Access to the attic is also behind a separate door in the
bathroom. Great for storage! The primary bedroom has its own private bath with shower stall. The guest house was originally a carriage house with hay loft and stables, constructed in the 1800s. Now
a charming second home on the site, perfect for guests, family, or even a rental. An open plan concept
combining the kitchen area, dining, and living room encompasses most of the first floor. On this floor,
you also find a bedroom and full bath. Up the spiral stairs there is a loft area with storage, and another
bedroom. Making up the grand total of five bedrooms for the property. The workshop is a handy person or crafter’s dream; a large space with double doors that open to the
yard, as well as an office area and storage room. Perfect for almost any hobby or even career! There is
also a second shed for additional storage. The yard has a vegetable plot for home grown goodies and
for exercise, an inground saltwater pool. Very rarely does a property like this come along! Do not miss it!
