Sparkling 1790 Saltbox Living Room

Sparkling 1790 Saltbox and barn on .89 quiet acres.  This 2,352 sq. ft. house has large, sunny rooms with clean lines and an easy flow.  The living room has an inviting slate fireplace and the renovated kitchen flows into the ample family room.  The rushing sounds of water from the Sandy Brook filter into the house from right across the road and the property is almost entirely surrounded by Algonquin State Forest.  The house is in great condition and it sits in a very private spot - conveniently located near Old Route 8 and just 2 hours from NYC.
