This distinctive 1832 cape, known as The Maples, has been thoughtfully expanded and carefully preserved over time. Nestled within 36 acres of mature forest and open meadows, the property invites exploration along winding trails that connect a variety of charming outbuildings.
A seamless 2006 addition brings modern comfort with a private primary suite and an expansive guest room or office featuring custom cabinetry and its own bathroom. The updated kitchen offers both functionality and a nod to the home’s heritage, opening to a stunning mahogany-trimmed screened porch—an ideal spot to enjoy peaceful mornings and serene evenings.
The original cape centers around its hallmark chimney, with two inviting living spaces (one perfect for formal dining) and a cozy bedroom, each with its own fireplace. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms reflect the craftsmanship and detail of the early 19th century.
Practical and authentic, the home includes a classic pantry and a mudroom leading to a traditional woodshed with overhead loft for storage or workshop space. A small garage at the end houses the indispensable utility vehicle that keeps the land in order.
The historic 36×60 barn remains a focal point, showcasing original features like wide plank floors, former livestock stalls, and hay storage. Nearby, a 24×13 hen house with an attached enclosed run offers the perfect setup for gathering your own fresh eggs.
For those seeking total solitude, the 12×14 retreat—affectionately called “The Shanty”—with its screened porch provides a quiet escape tucked deeper into the property.
Rounding out the estate is a separate tractor barn just uphill from the main barn, ideal for additional equipment, tools, and workshop needs.
