Currently configured as a 5-bedroom, 1.5 bath home, this property can easily be converted to create a spacious primary suite, resulting in a 4-bedroom, 2.5 bath layout. This beautifully maintained 5-bedroom home, originally built in 1840 with portions dating back to the 1700s, is situated on over a half-acre of majestic, landscaped grounds.
