Step into history and comfort in this 1778 Colonial offering nearly 3,000 sq ft of character and modern updates. Featuring 4 spacious bedrooms plus a bonus room, 1.5 baths, and wide-plank hardwood floors throughout, this home blends timeless charm... with everyday convenience. Two fireplaces anchor the living and family rooms, while built-ins add function and warmth. The eat-in kitchen has new appliances and a gas cooktop, flowing into a bright sunroom and formal dining room that opens to a stone patio—perfect for entertaining.

Upstairs, the primary bedroom includes a sitting area and built-in closets. A walk-up attic and historic barn provide abundant storage. Recent improvements include a 2019 roof, updated mechanicals, and newly relocated upstairs laundry.
