Step into history and stay for the comfort! This beautifully restored 18th-century colonial farmhouse is on the market for the first time in a decade. With over 6,000 square feet of finished space, this home offers endless possibilities. Featuring 5+ bedrooms and 4.5 baths on nearly 3 acres, it shines in every season. Inside, you'll find a blend of historic charm and modern updates, from the repurposed Shangri-La reservation desk in the kitchen to the stunning barn-turned-entertainment space. Going further back, remnants of the Smiling Hills dairy farm can still be found in the lower levels of the barn. Recent improvements include a newer septic system, two updated bathrooms, fresh paint on the home and barn, new appliances, additional attic living space, and a water treatment system. Looking ahead, it would be easy to create a mother-in-law apartment or home office with a private entrance. This home has a rich history, once serving as a beloved retreat and fondly remembered by many locals.
