Property Description


0.38 Acres Lot
Built in 1760
For Sale - Active
Units n/a

This historic property, built circa 1760 and expanded in 1801, was once the hub of a 120 acre milk and apple farm. Spanning a large 3,427 sq ft, it features 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, inside stunning Federal brick style architecture complete with 3 fanlights. The breathtaking portico entrance warmly welcomes you from the driveway. From the main house, a cozy updated kitchen and large breezeway with soaring ceilings and skylights leads to the carriage house. Throughout the home, you'll find authentic historic details including knobs, fixtures, and 9 fireplaces, creating timeless charm. There are 2 generous living rooms, a formal dining room, and an office/library, all with impressive high ceilings. While some updating is needed, the roof, windows, and electrical systems have been modernized. This home is a rare restoration opportunity, offering room to personalize while preserving its rich history and character. Steps from MacArthur Elementary, Lazazzero playground, & Hardy Pond.
