Settled in a serene, private setting within the highly sought-after Wilson School District, this remarkable stone residence - originally constructed in 1775 - offers a rare blend of historic charm and modern updates. Lovingly held within the same family for generations, the home has been thoughtfully preserved and enhanced, making… Read More it a truly special offering. With 1.41 picturesque acres, the property showcases timeless craftsmanship, including original wide plank wood floors, impressive 20-inch deep window sills, and four fireplaces (one currently functional, with three sealed for preservation). The expansive 4,392 square foot layout features five spacious bedrooms, two full baths, and one half bath, all complemented by high ceilings and generously sized living spaces. In 1988, the current owner undertook a complete renovation down to the studs, updating wiring, plumbing, heating, insulation, and windows, while carefully maintaining the home's original charm. The exterior stone has been fully re-pointed, and a durable metal roof adds long-term peace of mind. Additional highlights include a two-car attached garage and a walk-up attic offering exciting potential for future finished space. The property also features the stone foundation remnants of an original springhouse with endless possibilities for restoration or creative use. For those seeking multi-generational living or income opportunities, the property presents potential for two additional rental units or in-law quarters, one of which includes its own two-car garage. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history with modern comforts, versatile living options, and room to grow - all in a peaceful, desirable location. Read Less
