About This Property

Step into history with this charming circa-1900 Victorian home offering nearly 3,000 sq ft of timeless charm and modern updates. It’s situated on 1.79 acres across two separately deeded parcels. This unique home was built with the rare balloon framing method and blends original character with today’s conveniences. The home welcomes you with a classic wraparound front porch and features hardwood floors, pocket doors, large windows, and a cozy window seat in the living room. Original mantel surrounds, preserved from former fireplaces, add architectural charm and historic character. Unique period light fixtures,10 ft high ceilings, and thoughtful updates throughout highlight its one-of-a-kind appeal. The spacious kitchen is a true gathering place, complete with a center island featuring a newer cooktop, prep area, sink, partial butcher block countertop, a large breakfast bar and adding to its historic charm is a brick hearth alcove—originally used for a wood or coal stove—now a character-rich focal point with endless potential. A spacious room off the kitchen is partially being used as the laundry room which adds everyday functionality. Outside, a 2 story 37x47 detached carriage house with 3,478 sq ft, offers endless possibilities with its original horse stalls, hay racks, cobblestone floors, cabinetry, water, electric, and a wood stove. This a great multi-purpose structure and could also be used as a garage, workshop, or creative space—the possibilities are endless. This home also includes a historic icehouse structure that could be revitalized, offering a glimpse into the home’s past and an opportunity for creative restoration. Along the driveway, a dry-laid limestone lane wall with traditional coping stones provides a timeless and historic welcome. Other highlights include newer windows and a lifetime metal roof (both installed by the prior owner). New wiring throughout done by the current owner. Wood clad siding. The rear 1.03 acre parcel was previously used as horse pastures, adding flexibility for future use. This is a rare opportunity to own a home that balances historic elegance with modern updates—perfect for those who appreciate character, charm, craftsmanship, and unique possibilities.
