A lasting sense of rural Delaware County heritage can be found in this warm and inviting, pre-Civil War two-story Federal-inspired Farmhouse. With 2700 plus square feet of living space, exceptional attention and respect has kept the ambiance and charm of a bygone era. A handsome living room/dining room with brick Heatalator fireplace lends a formal quality and a sense of spaciousness, dramatized by the exceptionally high ceiling that is so often lacking in a house of this era.

A separate family room with a bath provides the opportunity for a master bed room on the ground floor. A split floor plan defines the kitchen and sitting room, and provides a relaxing and restful oasis for the enjoyment of life's simple pleasures. An unpretentious screened-in porch provides a seasonal living area with a summer breezes and verdant views.

The sleeping floor provides a full bath and 4 bedrooms of pleasant scale and high ceilings, plus a built-in linen press and ample closets. There is a caretakers apartment with separate entry that can provide an income if one was inclined to rent it out. The living area is extended across the rear of the house by a 450+ square foot brick patio, ideal for summer dining and entertainment.

The grounds have been graciously landscaped and provide an amazing amount of delight and pleasure as one strolls the grounds discovering a world of enchantment. Lush lawns, perennial plantings, age-old lilacs, a victory garden, and towering maples and pines abound. The stewards of this homestead have inherited established age-old stone walls, and an engaging stream that furnishes a soothing melody as it falls and dances over the stones on its way to the river. All this takes place in a natural glen that contains a moss-laden primitive forest glade.

Nestled amid the towering hemlocks, overlooking the stream sits a 10’ X 14’ writers cabin with wood stove warmth, a sleeping loft and open covered porch. On a knoll behind the home is a 18’ X 18’ bluestone patio that overlooks the stream and adds to the pastoral setting. For the artist in us all there is a 44’ X 18’ garage and studio.

Amenities include a 17’ X 22’ garage with attic space, and a 60’ X 50’ over shot dairy barn, built about 1895. The ground floor still has the cow stanchions and the ceiling seems high enough to accommodate horses. The barn is in good repair and offers unbelievable space, be it dancer, musician, artist, or perhaps the architect that has dreamed of that dramatic space that can be transformed into a lavish home.

Extensive road frontage provides guaranteed privacy. All of this is embraced by 32 +/- acres, with extensive river frontage that allows one to return to those days so dear to our hearts, those days of endless summers and deep swimming holes, and those lazy days, spent on the bank with a rod in hand waiting to hook the one that got away.

Rarely does a property of this caliber come on the market, a home that has provided a magical aura for those who have lived here,
