New Listing
Overview
Description
Supplements: ... (Read more) The current owners weren't looking for this house. They were looking for a small lake cottage. . Instead, they found something they hadn't expected. . Twenty-six years later, it's easy to see why. You can even feel it when you're here. . This became their place to gather. In summer, the back screened porch was their living room and dining room. In winter, they came together in front of the fireplace. Easy to get to from Boston and New York. Easy to get to great restaurants and farmers' markets, world-class dance and theater, skiing and lakes, and secret spots that are crazy beautiful. Life happened here. Memories were made here. . This isn't a perfectly restored showpiece. It is a real old house, with history, quirks, and room for the next family to make it their own. That's good. . You can move right in, live in it, and let the house help you figure out what you want to change, what you want to preserve, and how you want to live. . Inherent to the home is the land. Like much of New England, what were once farm fields and pastures have gradually returned to forest. Old cart roads still wind through the woods, inviting exploration in every season. Follow them toward the remains of a small nineteenth-century quarry just beyond the northern property line. That is living history. . Hike, mountain bike, cross-country ski, or just explore, right from your back door. Revive the gardens. Pick blueberries and apples. Spend the afternoon at the nearby beach. Bike to dinner. . The house owes you nothing and you owe nothing to the house. The home is what it is, and no apologies are needed. A lovely old farmhouse, with 60 acres, at the end of a quiet country lane, where you can look up at night and the stars are so bright you can see the Milky Way, and hear the peepers and the owls, and that's it. . Enjoy the uncommon peace that comes from knowing the road ends at your home. But the end of the road is really just the beginning. . The best old houses don't ask to be admired. They ask to be lived in. . Not everyone will understand this house. . The right person will.
