Remains as a symbol of a time when life was simple yet rich, uncomplicated and rewarding. This dramatic farmhouse was built in 1863 during a burst of of a economic upturn for the farmers and settlers that had survived the crisis of the Anti-Rent War era. An environment that offered a place of warmth and closeness and celebration, an icon of happiness. A wrap around porch greets the visitor to this 3,000+ square foot home that has been tastefully refurbished to reflect the demands of contemporary living, yet retaining much of the original details.
The main living area has been opened up to create an open flowing floor plan. The atmosphere is warm and inviting with exposed beamed ceiling and wood floors. A Inglenook with a massive fireplace was created to form an area that lends itself as a place for reading or just cuddling by the fire. Pamper yourself with a soak in the Victorian tub, a full bath with classic fixtures and original cabinets. There is a sweet area for children to gather and play - and the balance of the space is there for holiday and family dining.
The second floor contains a split floor plan providing 2 guest bedrooms and new dramatic full bath. The master bedroom and additional bedroom/studio can be accessed by the rear staircase without disturbing your guests.
Amenities such as air-lock mud room side entry leads to a sun drenched country kitchen, updated with a Wolf range, dishwasher, refrigerator/freezer, and Apron sink. Sliders in the great room lead to a stone terrace for summer dining and overlook lush lawns, wildflower meadows, towering pines and maples. Ancient hand laid stonewalls create a courtyard setting.
A hedgerow of age-old Lilacs wraparound the east side to a native stone terrace and steps to the south lawn, affording the enjoyment of the never-ending sun. Western sunsets create an afterglow of the day, and is reflected off a spring-fed swim pond. A convenient potting shed provides storage for your gardening equipment. For the gentleman farmer there is a 3 story dairy barn in good repair and a new roof, fenced in pasture for grazing.
All this on 12 +/- acres set on quiet town maintained road, Ideal for the artist with distant valley views, surrounded by the 100 hills that gave Denver its name.
