About this home

Offered for sale for the first time in 45 years, this beloved antique 1800s era farmhouse is a rare opportunity to own a true piece of history. Lovingly cared for and thoughtfully maintained, this home radiates the warmth and craftsmanship of a bygone era while still offering modern comforts. The home offers three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a potential fourth bedroom on the first floor, along with a formal dining room, living room, and family room providing wonderful flexibility for daily living and entertaining alike. Throughout, you'll find many wonderful period details, including built-in cabinetry, original wood flooring, and original wood moldings echoing the home's storied past. A welcoming foyer showcases beautiful stained glass windows that fill the entry with warm, colorful light. The dining room and kitchen are crowned with stunning period tin ceilings - a hallmark of 19th-century craftsmanship rarely found so beautifully preserved - and the kitchen's soapstone countertops add a timeless, authentic touch that pairs perfectly with the antique character. Spacious yard for entertaining or relaxing, ample gardens and space for more if you've got a green thumb. Situated in the heart of the Cornish downtown historic district, you'll enjoy the charm of a walkable village setting while being surrounded by architecture and history that can't be replicated. A large attached barn offers exceptional storage, workshop potential, or space to bring your own creative vision to life. Homes like this with authentic period details, a prime historic district location, and decades of devoted care rarely come to market. This is a wonderful opportunity for someone ready to become the next steward of this special property.
