Period craftsmanship abounds in this charming and cozy, circa 1790 antique cape-style home including built-ins at nearly every turn, irreplaceable wide-plank wood floors, classic details and vintage, hand-forged hardware. Historic home enthusiasts will also appreciate the original hand-hewn beams that add a dramatic sense of strength and heft. Harken back to a bygone era with a home that offers a timeless and symmetrical design with a centered front entry, a centralized chimney and four gabled dormers. Inside the enclosed rooms offer comfort and intimacy. There is even an ingenious wet bar with many cupboards tucked away off the main sitting room. From the back entrance be welcomed by two large working fireplaces; one with a beehive oven. The kitchen has been skillfully updated with the intention of emphasizing the unpretentious beauty of the home and its fine craftsmanship while blending in new custom-built cabinets, new wood flooring, concrete counter tops and appliances. On the main floor you will also find a bedroom/bathroom suite; perfect for guests, a nanny, your in-laws or to be used as your primary bedroom. The inviting and spacious dining room makes it ideal for entertaining as well as everyday meals. (Note: the fireplace in this room is not working. Choose to have it restored or have a wood stove put in.)
