Description

History feels handsomely at home in the Fairchild House. This 1780 Cape-style sanctuary was relocated c.1930 onto a newly-sited foundation, deeper within the property, then extensively expanded twice in later years. Across 2,800sqft, with 2.5 bathrooms and 4 room options for the 3 bedrooms, the home layers the latest luxuries with late-Colonial craftsmanship such as original millwork mouldings, fireplaces, sconce lighting, and hand-hewn wide-plank floors that glow and tell their story. A circular drive introduces level lawns, bordered by veritable verdure privacy and garden views. Inside, a front-to-back living room offers fireside warmth and wonderful flow, while the formal dining room, with its own wood fireplace, period wall paneling and 2 hutches, elevates candlelit dinners and holiday traditions. The kitchen, updated 10 years ago with maple cabinets, corian counters, and gas cooking, offers a sunny breakfast corner in which to enjoy slow mornings. A soaring family room adds modern scale with cathedral ceiling, exposed beams, walk-in closet, and 9-foot arched window. The latest addition main-level primary suite endows 2 walk-in closets, French doors to the yard, radiant heated floors, and a lavish skylit bathroom. A rustic, wood-paneled office completes the main level. A heated semi-finished rec room downstairs serves as a great fitness or hobby space and a detached 2-car garage and many updates, including mechanicals and an EV charger, round out the full package.
