One of a kind, period home of historical significance in the heart of Higganum. Formerly a general store, this home exudes charm and whimsy. Lovingly restored by a family and then maintained by a notable antique dealer, this home has been in the same family for two generations. The interior remains period correct with useful and necessary updates like newer windows, kitchen and baths. The original stone fireplace is large and impressive. The living room wraps around it with ease. Unique to this home is a large dining room which can seat 6 or more. Laundry, full bath and one bedroom can all be found on the first floor. The second floor has a versatile landing currently used as an office, full bath and two additional bedrooms, including a large primary overlooking the private backyard. The lower level includes a finished large living room, walk out patio, work room and another fireplace. A post and beam barn (newer than the house) is magnificent with three bays, a work room and full second floor as well as running water and electricity! Follow the cobblestone driveway and then keep going into the woods to find a swimmable spring-fed pond and summer sleeping cabin! This house must be toured to be understood and to understand the opportunity here is to fall in love with all it has to offer. Per seller request, all offers due at 10am Monday, August 3rd.
