Welcome to 163 Stewart Rd, a much-loved country property where generations of family memories have been made. Owned by the same family for more than 100 years, this 4 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom farmhouse sits on 16.16 private acres surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature, offering a peaceful rural lifestyle. Built in 1860, the home is filled with timeless character, including original window casings, baseboards, interior doors, curved archways, and sections of the original pine flooring, while hardwood floors add warmth throughout much of the main level. Two wood burning fireplaces, including a Franklin stove in the main floor living room and a wood stove in the second floor rec room, create inviting spaces to gather in every season. The functional layout includes main floor laundry, a spacious mudroom with access to the attached two car garage and basement, and built-in storage throughout. Outside, a covered south-facing front porch overlooks beautiful perennial gardens, while the opposite side of the home offers plenty of space for the vegetable or hobby garden. The property also features two substantial outbuildings, including a barn with an attached shed and a drive shed with a workshop, offering endless possibilities for storage, projects, or hobbies. Approximately 30 years ago, the brick exterior was carefully restored using as many of the original bricks as possible, and the steel roof offers added peace of mind for years to come. The unfinished basement, with both interior and exterior access, provides additional storage space. Whether you're dreaming of raising a family in the country, pursuing hobbies, or simply embracing the quiet beauty of rural living, this is a rare opportunity to own a property that has been cherished for generations. *Estate sale.
