From the moment you come down the winding driveway you will be in awe when viewing and taking in this distinctive and beautifully hand crafted post and beam home.This is such a rare opportunity to own a home and carriage barn on 18 acres. Both buildings have both been thoughtfully and meticulously constructed with touches of local history throughout.The exterior includes beautifully configured slate siding from St. Joseph's orphanage and a standing seam metal roof.You will be struck by the expansive timbers that frame the entryway and the reclaimed cooler front door that makes for a wonderful greeting spot and conversational piece. When entering the home, you will be taken aback by the one-of-a-kind staircase, which boasts bricks from the old Franklin Schoolhouse and a custom wrought iron cemetery fence gate. Other distinguishing characteristics of the property include a soapstone kitchen sink from Shelburne Farms, reclaimed beams from local barns, salvaged barn board in interior peaks, clawfoot tub, artisan carved knee braces, slate flooring with fossils, cow stanchion wood railings, and custom birch cabinets in living room. There is also a carriage barn on property, with such features as douglas fir timbers from BFA's 1930s gym, whitewashed shiplapped pine, salvaged barn board in the peaks, and a cupola. The carriage barn has been plumbed for water, wiring has been roughed in, and second floor partially finished. Contemporary meets nostalgic in this extraordinary property.
