Whimsical and Wild

This circa 1845 farmhouse is sure to catch your attention. The gabled front view with closed-in sunporch is a look that turns a lot of heads. Its whimsical interior and country charm make you feel comfortable as soon as you see it. This old timer was built 163 years ago and has been upgraded over the years but still retains many of its original features including refinished wood floors. It sits on a very private acre+ property in the quaint hamlet of Summerville, about 20 minutes from Windsor. From here it’s just a short walk to the beach.

Inside, the house has a large mudroom, country kitchen which includes a stainless steel fridge, stove and imported cast iron Waterford wood cookstove. A full bath, pantry, diningroom, livingroom and family room complete the main floor. Upstairs there’s another bathroom, laundry (including appliances) foyer and three bedrooms. And of course, don’t forget the 29 foot sunroom across the front.

The house sits on a stone foundation and has good systems including septic, oil furnace, drilled well and upgraded electric. There’s an old garage and a large attached shed on the back of the house. Both of these structures are in poor condition, but could be saved. The property is beautiful with a small creek, mature trees, lawn and many different gardens. It’s a combination of natural “wildness” and organic gardens. There are huge oak and hazelnut trees, flowering shrubs, wild berries, rhubarb and medicinal herbs.

This property is ideal for year round living or the ultimate summer home. We also think the price will turn a few heads, too.
