THE MAIN HOUSE: Approx 6000 SQ FT and COMPLETELY RENOVATED is nestled in mature trees, and surrounded by thousands of spring bulbs, and lush perennial gardens. Inside, the home has been transformed through a masterful collaboration between renowned architect Rene Hoffman, the current owner who has a history of renovating historical estates and exceptional Amish craftsmen, who completed the full renovation in 2023. Every room reflects a reverence for the home’s 200‑year narrative: exposed beams, deep stone walls, hand‑finished details, and fireplaces anchoring both the living and dining rooms. The gourmet kitchen is a work of art, designed by a former Michelin‑trained chef who cooked in three‑star restaurants in New York City and the south of France. Professional‑grade appliances, custom cabinetry, copper counters with integrated sinks, and a dramatic 2‑inch walnut island create a space that is both sculptural and deeply functional. A separate large pantry houses additional professional appliances and a hemlock butcher‑block counter. With 5 bedrooms and 4 baths, including two bedrooms that open directly onto the front porch with sweeping views of the grounds, the home offers both intimacy and scale. Marble, French Limestone, Belgian Bluestone and wide-plank pine floors, luxury finishes, and thoughtful architectural details elevate every space.

The original bank barn has been transformed into two beautifully finished apartments with long‑term tenants generating $5,600/month ($67,200/year) — income that can offset your mortgage while preserving the barn’s historic integrity.
