Welcome Home to the Andrew Titus House Circa 1747. A truly authentic, pre-Revolutionary residence, privately nestled on 6.7 acres rising above its own pond and spring house. Spanning over 3 centuries, the home has its origins in two original 18th century portions, with significant additions from the mid-19th century and 20th century. Three front entries offer a unique flexibility of access to the various public spaces of the home, which are remarkably well-scaled, even by today's standards. The most prominent front door with its charming portico leads directly into the now formal living room with its own powder room & warmed by one of 4 fireplaces. Leading from here is direct access to a private main floor office w/its own screened porch, the spacious formal dining room and the adjoining hearth warmed family room. The kitchen, a true heart of the home blending of the antique and current, is centrally located allowing for an ease of day-to-day living, as well as entertaining ? especially with an adjacent 40' long window-lined gallery, currently furnished as a warm & welcoming den. The rear elevation of a fireplace's exposed stone wall serves as an ideal backdrop to the commercial grade range that conveniently faces a spacious granite island, across from the raised hearth brick fireplace. A main floor laundry, dual staircases and a 1st floor full bath ideally round out the unique feel of the main level. Character, charm and period authenticity are hallmarks of this home ? with all of the modern day simplicities. Upstairs, the 5 generously sized bedrooms, with more than ample closets, 2 full baths and a charming sitting room are laid-out so as to maximize privacy, offer potential for re-purposing and invite enjoyment of the far from cookie cutter design. The grounds, rising up from the pond at the front & dotted with mature segments of woods, wrap around an inviting in-ground pool that is tucked just behind the home. Privately located, through a trellised arbor, is a 2 story barn hosting a 3 car garage with a one bed/one bath apartment. If the beauty of warm, random-width wood floors; walk-in fireplaces; true beamed ceilings; inviting nooks and a flood of natural light are on your wish list ? this ideal representation of an American homestead, from the truly early days, could readily be called home. Property is being sold As-is (Home & Septic As-is)
