Circa 1750, this post and beam Colonial offers a rare blend of historic character, modern updates and flexible RA zoning on 2.3 acres. Ag zoning allows for chickens, horses and livestock excluding pigs and mink, along with kennel or animal boarding use. A welcoming farmer’s porch leads into a home filled with warmth and history, including exposed beams uncovered when the home was lifted and the first floor expanded to suit the original owners’ tastes in the 1700s. The updated kitchen is complemented by sizable rooms throughout, including a library, sitting room and living spaces with abundant closet storage rarely found in homes of this era. A fireplace and pellet furnace add comfort and charm, while owned solar panels help with efficiency. Laundry is conveniently located on the same level as the primary bedroom. Sliders lead to a large rear deck overlooking the backyard with no existing rear neighbors. Set on a lot that is wider than it is deep, this property offers space for gardening, animals, hobbies or simply enjoying a home with deep roots and lasting character.
