The views alone make this property truly unforgettable. Overlooking miles of rolling countryside, this beautifully restored 1895 farmhouse blends historic character with exceptional modern updates. Completely renovated to the studs in 2023 and further improved in 2024, the home showcases quality craftsmanship, energy-efficient systems, and a setting that’s nearly impossible to duplicate.
Inside, the thoughtfully designed 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath floor plan offers both comfort and functionality, featuring open-concept living and dining areas, a cozy fireplace, a built-in office nook, and a beautifully appointed kitchen with a large island and ample storage—ideal for everyday living and entertaining alike.
Composite front and back porches create the perfect place to relax and take in the breathtaking panoramic views. Two detached garages provide outstanding versatility, including a convenient 2-car garage near the home and a second garage tucked down the hill with 220V service and tandem parking for up to four vehicles—perfect for car enthusiasts, hobbies, storage, or workshop space.
The full stacked-stone basement offers abundant storage and features a charming bonus room beneath the porch with a warm, speakeasy-inspired ambiance. Above, a spacious unfinished attic with dormer windows provides exciting opportunities for future expansion.
Combining timeless appeal with extensive recent upgrades, modern efficiency, and unforgettable scenery in every direction, this remarkable property is ready to welcome its next owner.
