Description
Step into history with this beautifully restored 1850 homestead, perfectly blending 175 years of character with modern, energy-efficient living. Originally built by the Ferguson family, this unique half-acre property is surrounded by a pristine, timeless landscape. Enjoy the sounds of your own babbling brook! An extensive, down-to-the-studs restoration spearheaded by the current owner—an architectural historian. Original hemlock board walls, maple wainscoting, exposed beams, pine flooring, and original stained-glass entry details were meticulously preserved. Meanwhile, the home was outfitted with a premium efficiency package, including full spray-foam insulation from basement to attic, German 'Lunos' HRV systems, two LG heat pumps, and a Danish Morso airtight wood stove. The home features updated (2015) electrical wiring, plumbing, septic system & metal roof, and an inviting back screened porch complete with detachable heavy-duty storm windows. The main floor offers a fully updated kitchen with custom and Ikea cabinetry, a dedicated back-kitchen mudroom and laundry area, and a cozy living room featuring a bright picture window over new laminate flooring. Custom bathrooms are located on every level, boasting in floor heating and a sun-filled "bump out" sitting area. The second floor features 3 Bedrooms and flex area in hallway used for reading and full bathroom. The third-floor attic was beautifully finished with soundproofed flooring and a roughed-in drain for a future shower. Located on a reliably maintained winter road that is plowed, you are never far from local amenities. The property is just 25 minutes from Ski Wentworth, 20 minutes from Tatamagouche, beautiful North Shore beaches and the famed Jost Winery are also just a short drive away. This property is a true masterpiece of architectural preservation ready for its next chapter.
