Beautifully set on a hill and capturing that Victorian character from a bygone era, this elegant home boasts a unique history, making it a rare find among antiques. The story goes that in the 1940s, the Silas Peirce estate was subdivided, "literally"! This home represents a wing of the original mansion which was moved up the hill (presumably by oxen) and placed on a new foundation at that time. The result is a sun flooded residence adorned with many oversized windows and distant 3rd floor views. It's rare to find an antique that's NOT on a busy street AND has a full basement! Since acquiring the property in 1999, the owner has added a new roof, windows, wood flooring, bathrooms, heating, electrical service, built-ins, landscaping, stone walls, driveway, painting, decor, the addition of land & a beneficial easement to the property. The mature landscaping, with brick terrace & gardens, extends living area outside in warmer months. It's a splendid mix of Grand & Cozy with LOTS of style!
