We just LOVE this renovated Victorian, urban farm. The location is ideal for someone who wants to enjoy the charm & allure of country living while also participating in all the in-town conveniences. Built in 1830, it's been lovingly updated to perfection. The openness of the farmhouse kitchen, coupled with the wide windows, wood floors, & period accents create an effect that is both functional & fun. At just under 2 acres, it's got everything that one could want. Raised beds, fire pit, cook house. And don't forget the stunning pool: salt water, heated, it's surrounded with stunning rock accents & bluestone decking. Flanked on one side by the fire pit and on the other side by the "cook house", it's the heart and sole of the backyard. The "cook house" is made with reclaimed planks from the old barn on the property. Everything about this house is charming, pleasing and hypnotic. This one of a kind property will certainly cast a spell on all who walk through the doors.
