Step into history at the Elias Pitzer House, a Federal-style gem built in 1856 atop a small bluff, surrounded by picturesque pastures. Acquired by passionate owners in 2017, this meticulously renovated residence is more than just a home; it is a vision in the making.

As you enter, the charm of yesteryear greets you with original wood floors that tell tales of bygone eras and eight fireplaces that charm and hearken thoughts of family sitting around the fire. Boasting five bedrooms, each room is a tribute to the past, adorned with original wood elements that add warmth and character. The den’s neatly pointed stone walls draw focus to the large hearth and beckon for an evening drink with friends. The connected smokehouse displays a beautiful heart pine wood ceiling while its walls hide lessons from centuries past. The ambiance of the Elias Pitzer House is a perfect marriage of historical charm and contemporary luxury.

The exterior of the property is a testament to thoughtful design and preservation. Original stone walls frame the landscape, creating a sense of permanence and connection to the land’s history. A tennis court invites leisure and recreation, while a patio and pergola, adorned with oak beams, provide an enchanting space for gatherings under the open sky. A quaint wagon shed adds a touch of rustic charm and the five-gable renovated barn, a true centerpiece, stands proudly with two floors dedicated to creating lasting memories as a wedding venue. Featuring a grooms’ room and a bridal suite, complete with solid oak doors sourced from the property and barn, this space is a harmonious blend of authenticity and modern comfort.
