About This Property

OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY, JUNE 21 2-4! Welcome to a place that inspires hope, with its historic 5-bedroom, 2-bath home drenched with original character AND - for the entrepreneurs, hobby-farmers & visionaries - an enormous restored & updated barn, complete with a private lane, its own workshop, space for all of your toys or the business ventures you've been dreaming about! Located on an expansive 6-acre property just outside of charming Metcalfe village and only 30-mins to downtown, this 1897-built charmer will fulfill your homestead dreams, while keeping you close to the amenities your family needs. Enjoy afternoon swims, paddles & beach play, or winter hockey matches on your very own pond; grow the large garden of your dreams w/ the help of a powered potting shed, complete w/ its own well; watch the sun rise across your misty apple orchard or wildflower fields, and through the branches of your very own weeping willows. With its soaring ceilings and large principal rooms, the home AND the barn have undergone substantial structural, mechanical & cosmetic improvements over the last 12 years (too many to note). Highlights of that work include: Natural gas brought to home, New furnace, ductwork, electrical panel & HWT (2020); Basement underpinned, water-proofed & insulated, w/ steel beams installed (2017/18) & 7-ft ceilings; New water softener (2024), well pump & sump pump (2023). With its soaring ceilings, original pine floors & century-old finishes, this unique home and beautiful property must be seen to be truly appreciated.
