Description

With the architectural stature of a Lincolnshire brick Tudor, nestled south of town from New Harmony - just around the bend from the Lavender Farm - this rural escape is on the market for only a rarest of times: now. For those seeking the authenticity of classic style in the foothills of one of the best small towns in America, it's downright dreamy. Greeted with a wrap around corner tiled porch, you'll enter to bold colors, original details, and a spacious floorplan with a main floor library, bedroom with walk in closets, and sunroom. Nothing shows off natural light quite like it, while the 1930s fully tiled woodburning fireplace anchors the front room with warmth and a statement. Opposite the great room, an east facing dining room and the sun room sitting area connect to a stunning kitchen with breakfast nook, large island, custom cabinetry, built-ins, and morning east light helping the coffee to get your day started right. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms work well for today's arrangements, with the original main-room featuring matching dormer areas and ample space. An original sewing room holds a range of uses. All of this atop a full and newly waterproofed basement with large workshop area, situated on over 3 acres, with a mid 1800s barn recently restored by Amish contractors, a corn crib that could host additional entertainment space, chicken coop barn, a smoke house and original well house garden shed, and a detached carriage house that architecturally matches the home. Landscaped with intention and thought, this country home is a botanical escape - with perennial beds, shady respites, areas for park-like guest parking, places to practice soccer, and shade trees, peach trees, apple trees, elderberry, and blackberry bushes for good summer time measure. Come see what the locals already know: with the potential to homestead this close to town, this may just be God's country.
