A Remarkable Historic Residence Steeped in history and surrounded by 7 acres of extraordinary natural beauty, this 3,028 square foot Greek revival home retains an exceptional sense of time and place. Original architectural details, including 200-year-old wide-plank floors, a 19th-century back door with original wavy glass, and period built-ins have been preserved and seamlessly incorporated with modern improvements. Lumber from the property itself has been used in select upgrades, creating an authentic connection between the home and the land. The result is a home where old and new come together naturally, with historic details, traditional craftsmanship, and modern comforts all part of its story. A large farmhouse kitchen, dining room, living room with wood stove hearth, and library provide gracious spaces for entertaining and family living. The Grounds- The property's acreage unfolds as a living landscape of mature perennial gardens, orchard, vineyard, greenhouse, vegetable gardens, berry patches, patio and grape arbor seating areas, and a peaceful frog pond. Trails through the grounds lead to White Creek, where the property enjoys its own secluded swimming hole in a crystal clear trout stream that never runs dry. The property includes a separate workshop area, a small barn for garden or other storage, and a versatile restored larger barn with performance space, spacious hay loft, and a popup museum telling the story of the home through accidental archaeological finds. The Location- This property is just a short walk to restaurants, food coop, bookstore, and arts center in the village of Cambridge, and less than an hour to sought-after destinations like Saratoga Springs, Manchester VT, Albany International airport, and North Adams, MA. Whether hobby farm, private rural sanctuary, weekend retreat, or extraordinary historic estate, this is a truly unique property. Rich in history, natural beauty, and timeless character, this is a home worth waiting for.
