718 Telegraph Rd

Venerable meets whimsical in this charming stone farmhouse, filled with original features and lovingly preserved by its owners. A plastered front and exposed stone sides pleases both the purist and 21st century aficionados. Wide plank pumpkin pine floors, chair rails, crown molding, and deep windowsills grace the formal rooms in the house, while exposed beams and interior exposed stone walls call to the lovers of rustic living. The kitchen, with its brick floor and stone walls, shares an open space with a big walk-in fireplace (and propane stove) that still harbors a beehive oven. Three staircases and three attics attest to the different eras that built this house, blending all into a cohesive retreat. Bathrooms are updated, with a Carrera marble walk-in shower and a clawfoot tub. The barn is a happy surprise, offering a cozy office space or studio, complete with running water, heat and air conditioning, a sound system and WiFi. It even has a Prohibition-era bar! Big barn doors swing open to provide beautiful long-distance views. Next to the office, a former blacksmith shop still retains its original forge. A huge covered 3-bay carport serves as a garage. Placed back from the road and surrounded by farmland (don't miss the horses next door), this property hosts a little fenced garden reminiscent of Colonial days and a small orchard. The public sewer has recently been installed, retiring the septic system, and a whole house generator comes with the property. You need do nothing but move in!
