Property description
Authentic Colonial Farmhouse on 10 Acres With Pond Traditional appointments and fresh design elements merge in a beautifully restored Colonial farmhouse with earliest portions dating to 1740 and 1850. Classic architecture is the hallmark of the farmhouse, while a fabulous two-story barn can be used as an office, studio space or guest accommodations. Set on ten scenic acres in Tewksbury, the property includes a separate five-acre lot across the road enhanced by a pond, secondary barn and run-in shed. Original features of the four-bedroom, two-and-one-half bath home include brick hearth fireplaces, exposed wood beams and lustrous wood floors, while details like a chef's kitchen, elegant primary suite and expansive gathering areas filled with natural light provide a congenial atmosphere. A 2004 addition created additional square footage and subsequently in 2014 the current owners completely renovated the entire home, taking care to retain many vintage qualities while upgrading the mechanical systems, interior, structural elements, landscaping and hardscaping. The inviting entry sets a tone for the graceful interior beginning in the formal living and dining rooms. Both feature wood floors, crown and chair rail moldings and fireplaces; the dining room's original 1740 stone fireplace is framed by original beams and the living room's 1850 fireplace is enclosed by a classic wood mantel and brick hearth. Open to the living room and entry is a cozy den with built-ins and a combination of crown, applied and chair rail moldings. In the fabulous center island kitchen, custom cherry cabinets, quartz countertops, tile floors, a tile backsplash and Shaw farm sink are appealing amenities. Appliances include a Wolf six-burner range, Sub-Zero refrigerator and Bosch dishwasher. The breakfast area offers additional cabinet and counter space, as does the adjacent butler's pantry. Continuing the open flow is a family room with coffered ceiling, gas fireplace and built-in cabinetry. French doors open to the three-season sunroom where window walls frame amazing property views. Completing the main level is a well-appointed mud room and a powder room. Upstairs, a tranquil primary suite offers a deep, customized walk-in closet, wood floors, and crown and chair rail moldings. The private full bath has a clear glass door marble shower and a double sink vanity. Three additional bedrooms, one with an original wood-burning fireplace, are served by a stylishly updated marble bath. The spacious laundry room is designed with generous cabinetry topped by a long folding counter. A large two-story barn has front and rear doors and offers tandem parking for four cars. The expansive finished space on the first floor includes an original corn crib, a half bath and stairs to the second floor.
