About this home
If you long for a farmhouse that stands much as it did in 1880, with original heart-of-pine floors and plaster walls, this may be the property of your dreams. The owners made a deliberate decision to preserve the integrity of this humble farmhouse rather than modernize it beyond recognition. The restored barns and outbuildings offer a rare and authentic glimpse into life as it once was.
Historic details abound — Bennington doorknobs, transoms above doorways, and beautifully “combed” wood trim, a trompe l’oeil technique dating to the 1920s. Surfaces show gentle wear from more than a century of living, yet the craftsmanship remains undeniable. This is not a reproduction of history — it is history.
The primary bedroom is spacious and airy, featuring nine-foot ceilings and oversized windows that flood the room with natural light. In 2011, a thoughtfully designed nine-by-eleven-foot bathroom was added that blends seamlessly with the home’s history. Historal tiles, patterned plaster walls, wavy glass windows, antique light fixtures, a clawfoot tub, separate shower, and beautiful stained-glass door create a timeless retreat.
The eat-in kitchen is both functional and unforgettable. Two focal points anchor the room — a wood-burning fireplace and an antique porcelain sink set into a surround designed by a local craftsman using chestnut beams and barnwood sourced from the property. The kitchen offers abundant storage, including a floor-to-ceiling dish cabinet, spice cabinet, built-in cabinet beneath the stairs and a nine-by-five-foot walk-in pantry. A center island, new stove, and new refrigerator complete the space. It is perfect for a cozy meal by the fire.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a bright, versatile room previously used as a formal dining room but spacious enough to serve as a living and dining combination. Two large windows frame views of the pond across the street, and southern exposure fills the space with light.
Upstairs two large bedrooms feature generous windows overlooking the pond. A third room has been divided into a small bathroom and a sitting or TV room. A spacious attic provides additional storage.
The outbuildings are extraordinary and increasingly rare. A spring house channels an underground spring that feeds the pond across the road. The original stone summer kitchen, complete with a massive fireplace, stands beside the home and creates a magical setting for relaxing in the hot tub on a snowy evening. Its three rooms with separate entrances offer many possibilities. The smokehouse still retains original meat hooks, and a root cellar behind the home once stored provisions.
The impressive bank barn, built in the 1880s, features both hand-hewn and machine-hewn beams. A smaller three-bay barn could serve as a garage and it has an enclosed area ideal for chickens. A two-seat outhouse adds to the authenticity. In 2011, the barns were re-sided with one-and-a-half-inch hemlock. The smaller barn received a new tin roof, the bank barn roof was sealed, and the house was re-roofed with lifetime architectural shingles.
The grounds are captivating. Flower gardens flourish alongside red and black raspberries and blueberry bushes. Two hills provide excellent sledding. The property is fenced, allowing dogs to roam freely. A one-and-a-half-acre pasture invites grazing or recreation. Follow the stone wall to discover a bright meadow. Paths wind through wooded areas filled with daffodils, crocuses, bluebells, and bee balm. Enjoy outdoor meals, gather around the firepit, and listen to cicadas on summer evenings. You will not know a main road lies nearby.
Convenient for commuting to Baltimore and York, with nearby shopping, healthcare, breweries, coffee shops, and access to the hike-and-bike trail, this farmette offers the rare opportunity to live surrounded by history and nature without sacrificing convenience.
If you have been searching for authenticity, craftsmanship, and timeless character, this is the one.
