- Description: Steeped in history, the c. 1763 Elijah Bottum home is one of gracious proportions and original charm. No fewer than 5 fireplaces in addition to the impressive beehive brick oven with copper kettle in the kitchen which is still used today to bake the occasional pizza and to provide heat on wintry days! Wide plank floors and original carved woodwork. Generously sized bedrooms, updated baths. New stainless appliances in the kitchen. Beautiful enclosed porch has brand new windows and woodstove as well as a sauna creating a space to be enjoyed all four seasons; a special place to enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of wine at the end of the day while looking out over the 12.9 acre parcel. Plenty of space for animal husbandry and gardening. A wonderful blend of old and new and a very comfortable home! Current owner has had success with VRBO.
