A true historical gem nestled amidst five acres of picturesque landscapes
Nestled amidst five acres of picturesque landscapes, Heavitree stands as a testament to the timeless elegance of 1779 architecture. This Center Chimney Saltbox Colonial is a true historical gem, meticulously restored to honor its rich heritage while offering modern comforts. Surrounded by ancient stonewalls and flourishing gardens, Heavitree boasts idyllic views of a tranquil pond, a sweeping meadow and a charming Christmas Tree Farm. The main residence spans 2,783 square feet across two levels, with an additional 1,368 square feet in the enchanting lower level "Tavern Room" and "Tavern Suite". Within its walls, twelve generous rooms unfold, each with its own story. The Piano Room offers a space for music and reflection, while The Keeping Room, anchored by the original Kitchen Firebox with its beehive oven, serves as the heart of the home. The Parlor and The Formal Dining Room provide gracious settings for entertaining, and the Kitchen has been thoughtfully updated for the culinary enthusiast. Ascend to the upper level and discover "The Overlook Chamber", "The Pond Meadow Chamber" and "The North Chamber", each bedroom a serene retreat with its own unique character. The home's restoration has been a labor of love, with careful attention paid to historical details and craftsmanship.
