This stately stone house offers more space than it appears from outside. Standing guard over the Kings Highway since before the American Revolution it has views -- that are largely unchanged -- of farm fields. In the foreground are community gardens tended by local gardeners with hand tools and in the distance fields that are part of an organic farm and are sometimes tilled by a local oxen team. Large windows allow a tremendous amount of natural light into the spacious entertaining rooms on the first floor. The inviting kitchen adjoins a room that can serve as family room, library or charming breakfast room. The third floor offers the surprise of very good open space that can be used for media, games, offices or another family room. Tucked behind the house is a calming blue-stone patio. The recently relined fireplace, the recent re-roofing, upgrades to the heating system and several very new appliances in the kitchen attest to the current owner's good stewardship. Used for the past ten years or so as a weekend house, it is time for a new owner. Located within Historic District.
