    What's special

    The Porter-Fairfield House, circa 1742, is a classic Georgian colonial set on a lovely and mature acre property. This charming 4 bedroom antique home features rare wide pine floors, exposed beams and multiple fireplaces. Extensively restored in the early 80's (including rebuilt chimney and foundation) and all systems updated since including septic system (2013). Formal dining and living rooms feature beautiful detail & built-ins. Open kitchen with breakfast area and recently updated stainless steel appliances. The bright and open third floor offers endless options such as a media, workout or play room. Outbuildings include a three car garage with large attic space, a three stall barn and the adorable "Shop" at 77 Main with an established tenant (grandfathered commercial use). Country living conveniently located near commuter rail, Rt. 128 and top-rated schools.

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
