Dating back to 1835, this Millbrook Colonial farmhouse includes tasteful restorations to the 1,990-square-foot interior. 

We love an old house as much as the next old-house-lover, but what we love even more is an old house that clings to its historic character while providing plenty of updates where it counts. That’s exactly what this five-bedroom farmhouse has to offer, as well as a quiet, rural setting just a stone’s throw from a stream and waterfall.

Its original features have been polished up to impress, like the hardwood floors, exposed ceiling beams, and brick living room fireplace. And, yes, it works!

The kitchen is huge, so bring your dreamiest home-chef ideas for appliances, fixtures and counter tops…

…while, up on the second floor, the bedrooms have been completely redone with new flooring, lighting, and closets…

The quarter-acre lot includes a two-car detached garage, as well as a big backyard. You’ll need to bring your gloves and gardening tools, however, since it’s essentially a blank canvas awaiting your vision. From here, Millbrook village is just a little over a mile away, convenient for dining and shopping. Other nearby attractions include Innisfree Gardens, the Trevor Zoo at Millbrook School, and the Omega Institute.
