An exquisitely maintained colonial farmhouse with a rich history, once owned by actress Blanche Bates! During winter, Bates would cozy up near one of the five wood-burning fireplaces and, in the summer, read scripts while overlooking the property from the wrap-around stone veranda. The delightful outdoor retreat features beautiful mature plantings, a slate patio, stone walls, and a sprawling wisteria arbor overlooking the flat lawn. Inside, the house boasts four spacious bedrooms, home office, living room, family room adorned with vaulted ceilings and a windowed cupola, charming library and quite possibly one of the most timeless dining rooms of all time. The updated white eat-in kitchen includes a spacious butler's pantry, honed granite countertops, and high-end stainless-steel appliances. Original wood beams, high ceilings, and exposed brick throughout contribute character to the meticulously preserved home. The detached two-car garage, connected by a stone breezeway, offers an additional finished bonus space. An exceptionally unique find for the most discerning buyer! © 2023 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
