French doors lead from the kitchen into the large, sunny, south facing family room. House has central air-conditioning and 5 ceiling fans, exquisite original cast iron heating grates, original working pocket doors, a FULL walk-up attic and FULL walk-out basement.

There is a STUNNING 450 sq. ft. library/office with separate entrances, 15-foot ceiling and open beam construction with French doors leading to private outdoor slate patio with a serene view.

The house has a wonderful wrap-around front porch with original porch swing. The appx. 5000 sq. ft. of 2-story barns, with electricity, are in excellent condition and they are attached to the house. There is space for: studios, workshops, storage, 3+car garage, and/or livestock as they still have the original horse stalls! The barns have all been renovated and could easily be converted to more living space should that be desired.

The unique original woodwork in the house is cypress. The floors are: dining room - fir, library/office - original wide board barn floor, most other floors - original pine. The house and barns have well-maintained original slate roofs.

Outside on the managable 7 acres, there are a number of mature Sugar Maple trees and numerous shrubs and flower gardens. In 2003, extensive professional landscaping was completed and the property was elegantly fenced. In 2004 a new porch roof was completed and in 2005 house trim, doors. shutters and porch were painted. At the south end of the property is a pleasant stream with remnants of the historic road and bridge to Cambridge. There are 2 acres of level lawn to enjoy outdoor activities; the large children’s play set could stay with the property.

This property was used as a small farm and then as a B&B for many years and could easily be converted back to either.

All this, with great views of surrounding forests and hills. Only a fifteen-minute walk to downtown Cambridge with: the wonderful Cambridge Hotel with renowned restaurant; Hubbard Hall - our cultural and theatrical hub; The Village Store Co-op - both an old-fashioned general store and a specialty organic/healthy food shop.
