The front portion of the three-story, four-bedroom, wood-framed Farm Home was built in 1812, the rear portion in the 1860s.  Front and rear staircases connect all floors.  It contains three chimneys and nine fireplaces, two of which are working fireplaces; the remainder have gas log units.  

 

The main floor has a front entrance hall and staircase; a formal living room with working fireplace and mantle; a master bedroom suite with fireplace (with gas logs) and mantle and a modern, marble-tiled master bathroom; a formal library with fireplace (with gas logs) and mantle and built-in cabinets; and a powder room.  The main floor has 10-foot ceilings and original wainscoting.

 

The ground level contains a rustic den, with working fireplace and exposed brick and ceiling beams; a formal dining room with fireplace and mantle (with gas logs) and a turntable service between the dining room and the kitchen pantry hall; a large, completely new, chef’s kitchen with large island, exposed ceiling beams, fireplace (with gas logs), and track lighting; a powder room; and a mudroom with shower and separate entrance.

 

The upper floor has two bedrooms in the front of the house, which share a full bath, and a rear bedroom/bathroom guest suite that is separately accessible from the rear stairway.

 

The interior has been insulated, replastered, and painted in tasteful Colonial colors.  The exterior, including the beveled-edged framing, has been carefully restored, repaired, and repainted.  Both front and side porches have been rebuilt.  All chimneys have been either rebuilt or repaired and repointed.

 

Modern renovations include:  air conditioning; all new bathrooms (3 full baths, two half baths); new lighting throughout; all new electrical and plumbing, with three-zone hot water heat and ready-in-time hot water; new gas log fireplace units; alarm system.
