Charming meticulously restored and expanded 1790 cape with 4 bedrooms and 3 ½ bathrooms on 18.84+/- pastoral acres with mountain views west and east, comes to market for the first time in 25 years. The attention to detail, stewardship, and level of finish invested in the home inside and out, strike a rare hard-to-find balance between its rural heritage and modern amenities. Embracing the past are exposed hand-hewn beams, wide planked floors, natural wood doors with wrought-iron hardware and fully intact Rufus Porter wall murals. Enhancing the present is a post & beam family room with sunset views and fieldstone fireplace intentionally set into the hillside and hidden from view in front behind the ell to maintain the structure's scale and unity with the land. The ell itself was disassembled and completely rebuilt using the original timber frame to make way for a centrally located kitchen complete with island, stainless appliances, coffee bar and workstation as well as the mudroom, half-bath powder room, laundry room and primary bedroom suite with barrel vaulted ceiling, walk in closet and full bathroom. Outside, the setting is bucolic with a level yard and large field ideal for recreation and farming, heirloom apple trees, sequentially blooming perennials and a fenced gardening area with raised beds and potting shed. With high-speed Internet by LymeFiber, this property defines what many people seek but is rare to find.
