Entry begins through the front porch which itself is large and for three quarters of the year this porch doubles as extra added living space. In the summer put a table and chairs out so you can share breakfast time in the early summer, with a friendly and curious family of swallows. Once inside, there is a central curved staircase in the foyer just inside the grand main entrance. The staircase is mahogany and bends around as it ascends and the wood making the bottom of the steps also bends, a nice little added feature (see pics)! The folks who built the house in 1850 were bankers. Hardwood floors throughout the entire house consist of a variety of wood types and are easy to maintain. The moldings are unique and there's a few converted gas lamps in some of the rooms and in the upstairs hallway. It is like living in a tree house up here. The windows are large, sunny and bright. The natural light is incredible. Two large trees live out front with their canopies at the second floor level. The hall floor is oak and this hallway is enormous. You could easily fit a couch out there. Past tenants once set it up as a living room space, and made this into a 3 bdrm apartment. The kitchen is large and sunny with a maple floor. The living room is used to be the master bedroom for the entire house. The current bedrooms are toward the back of the house. One has a cherry floor and a view overlooking the horse barn and fields. The other bedroom, "the birthing room" is smaller. The full moon and the sun both rise into this birthing bedroom and the living room. The bathroom is tiled. There is a built-in laundry cabinet and a matching wall medicine cabinet not over the sink. The built in shelves are deep. The tub is deep too and has glass doors instead of a shower curtain. There is a light in the shower and there is also a glass shelf to match the tub doors over the sink. There is a separate laundry.

A great blue heron feeds at Dickinson Pond, as does a mating pair of ducks. In early spring there are orange salamanders and oodles of tadpoles. Owls hoot. Spend summer afternoons relaxing in your kayak or blow up raft on the pond. Enjoy year-round access to trails that traverse the property and the hundreds of acres of trails in Pisgah State Park. Gardener/Future Farmer? Pumpkins and potatoes were recent additions to the vegetable garden in past years. The soil is amazing river bed soil as the Ashuelot River is right across the street and everything flourishes here! This house sits high up from the river so flooding is not an issue but the residence is close enough to benefit from the sounds of the flowing river. Possibility for Farming and /or Horses as there is a 5 stall barn located on the property. The barn is a separate rental agreement from the apartment.
