Step back in time and imagine the stories these walls could tell.
Built in 1865, this nearly 4,000 sq ft historic home has spent generations welcoming family, friends -- and once, guests from near and far as a charming bed and breakfast. Set on 2 peaceful acres, the property offers a rare blend of character, space, and possibility.
With 6 spacious bedrooms and 7.5 baths, every corner of the home feels thoughtfully designed for connection and comfort. Sunlight pours through tall windows, highlighting original details while the flexible layout opens the door to countless futures -- multi-generational living, a private in-law suite, income-producing rentals, or even a revival of its hospitality roots. With no zoning restrictions in the area, short-term rentals like Airbnb are also a real possibility.
Outside, the setting feels like your own private park. Mature trees frame open green space perfect for garden parties, quiet mornings with coffee, or evenings under the stars. A large barn with a 4-car garage adds even more opportunity -- whether for storage, hobbies, a workshop, or creative pursuits.
This is more than just a home -- it's a place where memories are made, businesses can grow, and lifestyles can evolve. Whether you dream of hosting guests, building generational roots, or creating something entirely your own, this property invites you to write its next chapter.
Property is currently vacant. Some photos have been virtually staged to help you envision the possibilities.
