A long gravel drive leads to “Old Stoney,” a Circa 1850’s Farmhouse sweeps from a 1.53 acre pastoral setting to echoes of nearby running streams and caressing woodlands. Lovingly restored with several additions and exuding romantic ambience, this three bedroom, two and one half bath gem reveals generously proportioned rooms with three fireplaces including the master bedroom, living and dining rooms. Exposed beams wrap the ceilings, beaded board walls and oak flooring meander throughout most of the first level. Deep set windows, French and four panel latch doors add to the historic and design detail of this blissful haven. Upon entry, the heart warming intimate living room and the family room that opens to a screened in porch, exude utmost comfort. The dining room facilitates entertaining as it adjoins many of the home’s gathering spaces. Deep set windows, beam ceilings and stone wall fireplace showcase original period features. Updates to the kitchen include granite countertops and stainless steel Frigidaire ™ appliances. The sun splashed breakfast area with vaulted ceiling leads out to a picket fenced side yard. The second level master bedroom reverberates romantic ambience with a wood burning fireplace, dressing room and master bath. Two additional bedrooms and a bath complete the level. Many recent system upgrades provide ease for everyday living. A lovely screened in sun porch opens to a bluestone patio revealing endless countryside vistas. A detached three car garage also provides storage. Taking in full measure of the land's beauty, this charming farmhouse is high in the midst of some of Tewksbury’s prettiest countryside, near the historic village of Mountainville and Oldwick.
