Property Description

You have driven past the new construction. You have walked the open houses where every room looks like the last one, where the floors are flat and the trim is thin and nothing has a story yet. And somewhere in the back of your mind you have been holding out for this instead.A Victorian farmhouse that has been standing since the 1880s and has been loved into every decade since. You feel it the moment you turn off the road and the gravel drive runs between dry stacked stone walls toward a classic yellow farmhouse wrapped in brand new vinyl siding, with a porch deep enough to lose an afternoon on. The trees out here are the kind that take a century to grow, and they have. The lawn rolls out soft and open across better than an acre. You already know, before you reach the steps, that they do not make them like this anymore.Step inside and the years come with you. Wide plank oak and pine floors stretch underfoot, glowing where the sun lands and worn just enough to prove they have carried generations of footsteps.

Ornate moldings frame the doorways, and the staircase rises on turned spindles worn smooth by hands long before yours. Thoughtful decorative details throughout add personality and character without taking away from the home's historic roots. Everywhere you look there is something a craftsman cared about, the kind of work that cost a small fortune then and would cost several now.The main floor opens into sun filled rooms that each keep their own quiet world. There is a sitting parlor for slow mornings and a formal living room with a reading nook built right into it, the corner you will claim within a week and defend forever. Brick fireplaces anchor the rooms the way they have for generations. The keeping room, currently arranged as a dining room, offers the kind of atmosphere that makes lingering over meals feel natural, surrounded by the warmth and authenticity that only a home of this age can provide. These are not finishes. They are the bones of a home that was built to last and built to be beautiful.What makes it rare is that the romance comes already paired with comfort. The kitchen carries the character forward with warm oak cabinetry and Jenn Air appliances, ready for the cooking projects that stretch all day. A newly finished full bathroom on the first floor adds convenience and flexibility to the layout. Upstairs, an oversized primary suite gives you a custom full bath and three closets, a genuine luxury in a ho
