Overview

Description

Some homes are impressive. Others are unforgettable. Built in the late 1800s by the founder of Nerstrand, this historically significant residence has been carefully preserved and quietly modernized, offering a rare sense of warmth, proportion, and authenticity. Set on 3.8 private acres, the property lives as a true estate, anchored by the original brick home and complemented by a fully finished carriage house and a heated outbuilding. From the moment you arrive, the home feels welcoming rather than formal. An inviting front porch and insulated sunroom create natural pauses in the day, while expansive windows fill the interiors with soft, steady light. Inside, original hardwood floors and refinished virgin sugar pine tell the story of the homes past, paired with custom millwork, cabinetry, and timeless finishes that feel collected over time. The kitchen is generous and functional, centered around a substantial island that naturally becomes the gathering place for daily life and shared meals. Spacious dining areas invite long conversations, while the fireplace anchors the main living space with quiet comfort. Main-floor living offers ease and longevity, with a primary suite, an additional bedroom and bathroom, and flexible bonus spaces well suited for study, sitting, or creative use. Upstairs, bedrooms and a family room provide a thoughtful balance of privacy and connection, allowing the home to adapt gracefully through different seasons of life. The fully finished carriage house adds a meaningful layer of versatility, ideal for guests, extended living, or independent accommodations. A heated shed with running water expands functionality even further, supporting both everyday use and special pursuits. This is a home that has held generations, gatherings, and everyday moments the kind that do not need staging to be remembered. Thoughtful, grounded, and deeply livable, it offers something increasingly rare: a place where life unfolds naturally and feels remembered as it happens.
