Description

Introducing: Robin's Keep A nature lover's ideal country retreat. Speckled with quintessential New England stone walls and hopping robins, this property feels straight out of a storybook. Set just moments from the local swimming hole at Hartland Pond, the home includes deeded rights for kayaking, paddleboarding, and enjoying sweetly serene afternoons on the water. This home will tug at the heartstrings of any antique home purist. Welcomed by a generous wraparound porch, stepping inside reveals a breathtaking preservation of history. Solid wood doors, exquisite trim work, cast-iron radiators, and wide board wood floors perfectly encapsulate this circa 1820 timepiece. Updated with a classic, timeless sensibility, the home strikes a perfect balance between modern convenience and old house reverence. The completely reimagined kitchen features an ample island, modern appliances, and soaring ceilings where exposed timber beams add deep warmth and texture. Anchored by a cozy wood-burning fireplace, it is the ultimate gathering space for chilly autumn evenings. The formal dining room provides an elegant backdrop for entertaining, complete with French doors that open to the outside patio to continue your evenings under the stars. The adjacent living room is flanked by its own wood-burning fireplace and two large bookshelves featuring charming arched valances.
