Set on 6.6 open, flat acres of lush grassland, this historic New England property offers the best of both worlds: timeless character paired with the peace of mind of a concrete foundation poured in 2005. Recently painted exterior siding and shutters create a fresh first impression, while the setting captures everything people love about country living - quiet mornings, wide open lawn, room for gardens, animals, hobby farming, and a slower, more peaceful lifestyle. Inside, the home is filled with warmth and character, including original wide-plank white pine floors, detailed woodwork, and beautifully crafted window and door frames that showcase the workmanship of a bygone era. The kitchen was updated in 2005, blending everyday function with the home's historic charm. The sunny pool room is a cheerful place to spend time on cold New England days. The home has two working brick fireplaces the family room has a working wood stove, a rare feature that brings comfort, charm, and cozy memories to the home. Outdoor living is just as special, with a lovely side porch and swing where you can enjoy the quiet surroundings and peaceful breeze. The standout feature is the spectacular post-and-beam barn, measuring 100 feet end to end. The breeze that flows through it adds to the calm country feel, while the barn itself offers incredible potential for animals, storage, hobbies, a workshop, equipment, or creative future use. The land carries generations of story, from the mature black walnut trees planted in the 1970s, to rebuilt stone walls, open back lawn, apple trees, wildlife, pasture area, and small pond with a natural spring. The classic Colonial home was built in 1810, when James Madison, the 4th U.S. President, was in office. This is more than just a property - it is a rare opportunity to own a piece of New England history with heart, land, craftsmanship, and room to live the lifestyle you have been dreaming of.
