In terms of charm, this estate in Essex has it all: an antique farmhouse, an enormous barn with weathered shingles, a pond that’s home to river otters, and almost two acres of land. Inside the 1686 house (which predates American independence), there’s a harmonious blend of historical details and modern updates.
Two new additions, a new roof, and an updated kitchen top off recent renovations. As for original features, the home is anchored by seven fireplaces, including a hearth in the kitchen, and there’s an abundance of exposed beams. The detached barn has potential beyond agricultural purposes—it could be converted into an art studio, office, or garage.
