Nestled along Old Kings Highway, the Reed Roberts Homestead exudes timeless charm, with over three centuries of history. This home has been meticulously stewarded into the 21st century. Positioned on a corner lot, once home to an old red mill, the homestead is surrounded by towering up-lit sugar maples that outdate the home. The beautifully maintained home centers around a spacious family room seamlessly connected to a kitchen adorned with exposed beams and one of five fireplaces. Radiating from this focal point are a library/office, breakfast room, and a formal dining area with one of the fireplaces. The formal living room is south-facing and gets beautiful light at all times of the day. Along with the rest of the first floor, it boasts 9-foot ceilings. The upstairs reveals four bedrooms, while the third level houses an extra 330 square feet of versatile hobby room/playroom space, offering boundless possibilities for enjoyment. Tucked away in the barn is a hidden gem: the original outdoor kitchen has been transformed into a snug with wall-to-wall bookcases and a prohibition closet. Live the genteel, carefree life in this elegant former ship captain's house.
