Built Circa 1765 as a home for the village blacksmith Benjamin Handy, this home retains the character, detail, and history of the original house with the addition of an amazing modern rear wing that includes an open floor plan kitchen, dining, and family room – offering the best of old and new. The new addition also includes a spacious pantry, mudroom, full bath, and access to a side porch that is screened and heated for year-round enjoyment. The remainder of the lower level contains 2 bedrooms, a powder room, and a living room with gas fireplace. Upstairs has 2 bedrooms and another full bath. Enhancing this village charmer is the outstanding custom- fenced and hardscaped patio—which includes a custom-built, stone fireplace with wood storage and beautiful, low-maintenance landscaping—perfect for outdoor entertaining and relaxing. The detached garage is set up for one car, a spacious workshop, and sizeable storage loft, but could be converted to 2 cars and/or expanded living area. The secluded rear of the property is scattered with and surrounded by mature trees and offers a view of the waterfall. Sited on a side street parallel to Main Street, grocery, pharmacy, coffee shops, restaurants, post office, library, and more are all a mere stroll away.
