Welcome to a fantastic historic home which has been lovingly brought into the 21st century. The property consists of the home, 2 large studios, a single garage and a barn which can house 4 larger vehicles, all on 1.8+ acres. The owners have been told by numerous old house experts that parts of the home are from the early 18th century then additions made at various times over the next 300+ years. It was probably built by the Tennis family who were farmers and one of whom was a tailor. Research from old county and township records and maps, the farm once included all the land behind the house which is now the Country Meadows development. The home is now ready for the next generation! THE HOUSE: Heated with hot water radiators powered by an on demand propane hot water system which also heats the water for all day showers (if you really want that!) Cooled with central air conditioning. Hardwood and ceramic flooring throughout, the front rooms upstairs have wide plank heart of pine floors. Replacement windows throughout. The kitchen has a pantry and numerous custom top of the line solid maple painted cabinets with soft close doors and pull-out shelving, there is a pop up shelf in the end cabinet for your Kitchen Aid mixer. The appliances are stainless steel, mostly Kitchen Aid with a Bosch dishwasher and a Panasonic dual microwave/ air fryer. The island houses trash and recycling bins, the dishwasher, a double sink with a commercial style faucet and more cabinetry . There is a small sink near the back door and an automatic skylight. All surfaces are topped with granite. The three full bathrooms have all been remodeled, The first floor bath off the family room has an antique cabinet and mirror as the vanity, the 2nd floor family bath has a vaulted ceiling. The main suite bathroom has a separate WC, a clawfoot tub and walk-in shower, a heated floor and a heated towel rail, double vanity with Carrera marble counters has storage below It has a lockable jewelry cabinet built into the wall.

The bedroom has windows on three sides, a vaulted ceiling and French doors to a balcony. The front bedroom has a large shared closet with the middle bedroom. The middle bedroom has access via stairs to the attic. The fourth bedroom is currently being used as an office. OUTBUILDINGS The large driveway gives access to the studios, the single garage and the barn. French doors lead into the studios, the front one being slightly larger than the rear. With lots of windows, built-in shelving and bookcases these spaces could have many different uses. The current owners use portable heaters and cooling, but it would not be difficult to add a split system here. Next to the studios is a single car garage (13'w x 20' deep) with a remote controlled door and a person door to the side. The barn is south facing and is divided into two unequal sides. Elder neighbors told the current owners it was originally a bank barn which had a fire in the 1960s and was rebuilt, The left bay with the 10' high remote controlled door and the person door has half stone walls and an interior door to the other side, lots of windows and is approx. 16' wide by 31' deep.
