The Farmhouse |
||||||
|
|
|||||||
| Built in 1828, the farmhouse is a post and beam double bricked wall house with wide pine plank floors, 3 bedrooms and two baths. The attached barn was transformed in the late 1960s into the Lodge - a separate 5 bedroom, 2 bath ski house. The farmhouse and lodge can be rented separately or combined as a 4000 square foot +, 8 bedroom, four bath reunion retreat! | |||||||
| The farmhouse is entered through a front porch off the kitchen. The kitchen is a gourmet's delight with a six burner gas Wolf stove and all the amenities. The kitchen pantry includes a washer and dryer with plenty of space for stocking the shelves with sundries. Off the pantry is the entrance to the spooky but interesting granite stoned post and beamed basement (great place for midnight adventure tours). | |||||||

| Off the kitchen is a large dining room with a five bay window overlooking the front yard. A hand hewn pine dining table and a small round table near the window provide spacious seating for 20 people. Two large bookcases grace the walls with interesting and rare books | |||||||

The Farmhouse Living Room |
The 1828 Farmhouse staircase leads upstairs to 2 bedrooms. |
||||||
|
Leading from the dining room, one enters the newly redecorated (2003) living room. Leather couches and comfortable easy chairs sit upon wide planked pine floors and oriental rugs. Hues of Wedgwood and royal blue soothe the soul while a wood-burning fireplace completes the inviting atmosphere. Four large paned windows provide ample light and make this room the perfect place to relax or gather with friends. |

|
On the grounds (10 acres in all) there is an additional post and beam barn, which for many summers housed the famous "1828 Antique Shop". This shop specialized in country English and French antiques - some of which still adorn the farmhouse. The barn is now used to store well seasoned oak firewood for winter rentals - or anybody else fancying an indoor or outdoor fire (please use the fireplaces or fire pit!). The two story barn may also double as a play house or interesting place to explore and review the marvels of 100+ year old post and beam construction." |
