One of the original Goshen farms, built c.1770-1775, and where condensed milk was invented, this Federal-Style Colonial has been meticulously restored down to every period-correct detail with no expense spared. The 5-acre estate features the Main House, Dairy Barn, Root Cellar w Loft, 2-car Garage, Tool Shed, & Chicken Coop.
Updates encompass everything - a full restoration starting from the 1993 and continuing to this day, including: 8 fireplaces (7 gas and working, 1 orig Ben Franklin decorative) - new electric from the pole throughout the house - gas line to street - plumbing - boiler - water heater - drilled well - gutters - roof - all custom millwork throughout - hand-painted Delft tiles - all metal roofs - hand laid stone wall no mortar - carport - hardwood floors - 3 room basement with poured concrete floors. Not one creak or crack in this perfectly kept home, the quality of which is rarely seen.
As you enter though the wide center hall, to one side is the living room, with custom-crafted archways over the windows and a warming fireplace. This leads into the adjoining sitting room with another gas fireplace. Across the hall is the banquet-sized formal dining room with the third fireplace and featuring an exquisite 12-arm custom Waterford chandelier. From here you enter the eat-in kitchen featuring the immense and warming AGA cast iron cooker and the fourth gas fireplace.
A graceful hardwood staircase ascends from the first to the third floor, with spacious landings along the way. The second level features four generously sized bedrooms, two with ensuite full bathrooms and two which share a Jack n Jill full bathroom. And of course, each bedroom has its own cozy and unique fireplace. A sun-drenched library and a convenient laundry closet complete this level.
On the third floor, you'll find a spacious attic with high ceilings, multiple windows that invite natural light, and a separate bonus room, perfect for a variety of uses. The full, unfinished basement offers three rooms for ample and dry storage.
This home, offering sublime privacy and tranquility, has been elegantly decorated and many of the antiques and period-correct furniture can be negotiated.
