Description

Set in a picturesque pastoral landscape framed by classic fieldstone walls and miles of wooded trails, this distinctive 4-bedroom antique home offers character, privacy, and modern livability on 1.7 acres near the North River. Historic charm shines through with wide pine floors and multiple fireplaces, while thoughtful renovations provide today’s comforts, including a fully redesigned kitchen and a heated sunroom for year-round enjoyment. Outdoor spaces are designed for entertaining and relaxation, featuring a heated in-ground pool, generous stone patio, and striking outdoor fireplace. Mature landscaping, including pear trees and a Huntly Botanic Greenhouse, creates a serene garden setting. The attached garage offers three separate bays with individual entrances, along with a finished space above ideal for a studio, gym, or office. A separate detached one-car garage provides additional utility, multiple access points, including vehicle entry and smaller equipment/tractor access.
