Property Description

Few homes capture the beauty of another era quite like this impressive 1855 Colonial Farmhouse - Brimming with historic character and complemented by thoughtful and efficient updates. The grand foyer welcomes you inside, and offers a glimpse into this home's rich heritage. Random-width wood floors, deep windowsills, graceful arched openings and beautifully preserved period details speak to the home's rich history and enduring craftsmanship. The adjoining living and formal dining rooms are each enhanced by their own fireplace, adding warmth and character to these inviting spaces. The beautifully-appointed kitchen is anchored by a striking vintage stone fireplace with an expansive hearth (functionality unknown), complemented by a tongue-and-groove ceiling, and a large picture window framing a serene backdrop of mature evergreens and perennial plantings. Just beyond the kitchen, the light-filled, three season sunroom boasts floor-to-ceiling windows, wood-plank walls and a beamed wood ceiling, with French doors opening to a large covered patio, with a second patio framed by ornamental fencing. The private, beautifully landscaped grounds provide an inviting setting for entertaining, relaxation and enjoying the outdoors. A striking first floor full bath is another unexpected highlight. A handsome wood staircase leads to the second floor, where four generously proportioned bedrooms continue the home's distinctive character with the same wood flooring, and a tastefully refreshed full bath. The third floor reveals an expansive walk-up attic with generous ceiling height, arched windows, plank wood flooring and exposed pegged timber framing, offering a remarkable glimpse into the homes original construction and potential for future use. Additional features include dual driveways, ample parking, detached two-car garage, and a walk-out basement with high ceilings and quaint wine cellar with old-world charm. Rich in history and architectural personality, this special farmhouse presents a rare opportunity to own a distinctive piece of the past - ideally situated near to Historic Bethlehem, conveniences and major thoroughfares. A Certificate of Compliance has already been obtained.
