LANCASTER: Historic 1799 Colonial situated on 4.4 acres with attached barn/carriage shed, open fields and pasture, woodland and an expansive area for gardens and play. Said to be a stop on the famous Underground Railroad, a fascinating space made of brick is hidden behind one of its 4 fireplaces, suggesting this to be true. With three floors and up to 5 bedrooms, 3 3/4 baths, a large eat-in kitchen with 2 pantries and a mud room, a wonderful den with wood stove, formal dining and living rooms, a screened porch and a wonderful side porch of elegant design, its nearly 4000 sf of finished area will meet the needs of any family large or small. The original post and beam construction is on display where chair rails join against trimmed corner posts, and its formal rooms on both the first and second floors showcase wonderful woodwork with raised panels, period doors and trim, built-in shelving, arched china cabinets, hardwood and wide pumpkin pine floors, and more. It is a wonderful example of period architecture with the warm, rich character one would expect. The outbuildings await attention based upon need, but complement the home with their potential. The land is lovely and the location convenient with easy access to the village, and reasonable access to a variety of trails. Offered at $425,000
