Description

This recently modernized farmhouse will take you back to yesteryear while affording the luxuries of today. Built in the heart of Rocky Point in 1901 & nestled on 2.39 acres, this private estate is fully fenced w/ a white picket fence across the front. The covered front porch calls out w/ rocking chairs helping you forget time as you sit & sip on a glass of iced tea or lemonade. Antique hardwood floors run the length of the house. As you enter through the front door into the ship-lapped foyer, to the right is The Tilted Room (bedroom #1) that features white diagonal beaded v-joint wall sheathing & bead board wainscoting. Here you'll find the first of 4 original brick fireplaces. Two closets from the master bedroom were converted to closets for this bedroom. Seller will return to original state if desired. Across the hall is The Amaranthine Room (bedroom #2). Floor to ceiling white shiplap walls accentuate this room. Fireplace #2 is found here w/ an ancient reclaimed wood mantle. Ample sunlight floods this room through the tall windows. As you enter back into the foyer, take note of the custom lattice railing & the bright staircase leading up to bonus room complete with wood floors, white-washed plank ceilings, & exposed wooden beams. This room with its large picture window affording plenty of natural light is perfect for a large home office, library, playroom, game room, or guest room.
