Nestled in the serene hamlet of North End, the property offers more than 5,000 square feet of extensive accommodations spread across three floors.
Inside: The primary house has four receptions emanating charm in every corner. Two timbered rooms with central fireplaces and variously hued leaded windows invite relaxation.
