1870 historic tavern (according to local lore) transformed into modern farmhouse chic with a barn like 2 car garage plus a 425sf loft upstairs all sited on 1.7 acres bordering protected land. This 3 bed, 2 bath home with original wide plank floors is flooded with light from 23 oversized windows downstairs and 8 sunlit windows upstairs. Nice high ceilings, crown moldings and an open eat-in kitchen with soapstone countertops, quartzite back splash, maple cabinets with vintage style glass, and LG appliances, including a stackable LG ThinQ washer and dryer, will make this a favorite spot for great food and drinks to enjoy the light and views. All appliances are less than 3 years old. The area is heated and cooled with a split but has beautiful doors leading to a Trex deck overlooking the woods and parklike backyard and oversized windows so you can allow nature to provide its own AC. A downstairs full bath is windowed with tub/shower, marble vanity, vintage mirror and wide planked floors. The rest of the first floor offers a den with gas burning fireplace and built in book case. From the den, french doors open into the dining room with vintage style sconces. The dining room flows gracefully into the living room with vaulted ceilings and a split for cooling and heating. Nice, open, airy. Upstairs has 3 bedrooms and a master bath. You enter the master bath through an antique door with original lock to find a marble topped double vanity, marble basket weave floors, a frameless oversize shower with subway tiles, and rainfall showerhead.
