If you're looking for THE quintessential 18th century Homestead steeped in a long rich history, then look no further! This marvelous relic is looking for its next steward. For the past 15 years, it has served as an organic herbal apothecary and farm, and prior, a tack/leather shoppe, a layover for rum-running during Prohibition, and the barn even brought together the community as the local summer theater. The home has been lovingly maintained and each room painted to compliment the historical charm, such as gunstock corners, hand hewn beams, and wide pine floors. The 1822 Colonial is bright and inviting with natural light cascading in from every angle. The generously spaced master with walk in closet, 2 additional bedrooms, and a full bath occupy the second floor, while the top story belongs to 2 bonus spaces with eave storage that can easily be used as additional sleep space, an office, hobby room, or storage. The country kitchen claims the ell with a view across the beautiful zen gardens out back and a view as the sun sets. The circa 1790 Cape most recently hosted the business and still retains the original wooden sink and outhouse, staking its claim as one of the oldest structures in Effingham! The hand hewn 35'x70' post & beam barn boast endless possibilities for entertaining or to house your farming needs. All this trimmed by stunning perennial gardens, heirloom flowers/vegetables, blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries on +/-2.05 acres.
