Elegance and traditional beauty define this classic stone farmhouse
covered with clapboard with vintage shutters, slate roof, and
"Americana" painted mahogany porches.
Eleven rooms include master suite, 4 additional bedrooms and 3 full baths.
Circa 1850, this home has been impeccably restored by master craftsman Daniel Perrotto and
architectural designer Morrie Breyer. A collaboration of talent
demonstrating outstanding workmanship such as period heart pine and
oak plank floors painstakingly reclaimed to their original beauty. The formal living
and dining rooms are well proportioned and sunlit with curved 18" inset windows.
The handsome kitchen is a perfect blend of time tested and contemporary amenities such as the square bay window, stainless steel Bosch appliances...the farm sink and honed black granite counter surfaces...the vintage door with transom and ample recessed lighting.
The graceful renovations of this farmhouse are set on a well-landscaped level property
of 1.24 acres with two giant pin oaks.
There are two outbuildings that would make great studio or workshop
spaces. The charming forge has vintage architectural elements such as
the original bell tower. At the end of the property is a large
detached garage/machinery outbuilding (30x80).
Documented in the book "Wanderings through Historic Plumstead" as the
William M. Sames farm, 1959, the current ownership has evolved after
four generations of the Sames family, recapturing this historic home
while adding many modern amenities. Today the original integrity is
uncompromised.
Welcome to Plumstead and discover what quiet rural living in a
beautiful setting is all about. The township has always been rural in
character, and at its founding was a thickly wooded area with a large
Native American population. Black bears were common here before 1800,
the year the last timber wolf in the area was trapped.
