Property Description

The Ghrig House, circa 1740, is a striking example of early architecture painstakingly restored by the current owners. Every effort has been made to preserve this gem as it has been updated with modern amenities. This home includes many period features such as a Jerkin roofline, beamed ceilings, deep window wells, exposed stone walls, Fireplaces and a spring which runs through a cement trough in the basement. In addition, it has a new propane heating system, radiant flooring on the main level, central air, Marvin casement windows, a rebuilt chimney, an insulated double lathe roof and ventilating skylights. The Entry Hall has an early feel and features a large Fireplace and radiant heating in the floor. The adjacent Kitchen is a grand space featuring an exposed beam ceiling. A large farmhouse sink has been roughed in but the Kitchen is otherwise a blank canvass for the new owners to finish to their heart's desire. The Dining Room has an exposed stone wall, as well as, access to the deck from which to enjoy the backyard creek. The rear Mudroom and Powder Room complete the Main Level. The Second Level features the Primary Bedroom Suite which includes a Bedroom, Private Bathroom with large tile shower and a Walk-in Closet. Upstairs is an additional Bedroom and Bathroom. This sale includes 2 parcels for a total of approximately 4.65 acres. This is a cash sale and the property is being sold "as-as" with the finishing touches to be completed by the new owner. Schedule your private showing today and come experience all that this enchanting property has to offer first-hand!
