Perhaps one of the oldest homes in Hopkinton, this historic Saltbox Colonial home was skillfully crafted in 1744 by the Kimball family, original settlers of Hopkinton. Brimming with history, this authentic post and beam home, in excellent condition, has much of its original features and charm intact and provides a very gracious and practical floorplan for today's lifestyle. Long term owners have all taken great care of this exceptional home. Current owners thoughtfully updated the kitchen, expanded the two-car garage, converted the back porch to a delightful year-round informal room, moved the laundry to the second floor for convenience, improved the spacious mudroom area and completely restored the old English style barn. Gardeners will love the beautifully landscaped 3.1 level acres bounded by classic stone walls. Rare vintage culinary chestnut trees, perennial beds, a lush trumpet vine, and a landmark lilac hedge are highlights of the grounds. Some of the special interior features include a sweet breakfast room off the kitchen and a true "buttery". An original quilt warming rack remains in the keeping room over the fireplace. There you will also find original shaker style wall pegs and an old built- in sideboard. Exquisite period detailing enhances the formal rooms as well as the cozy corner den with its own fireplace, pretty cupboard, and Dutch door that opens to the porch. Location is ideal, close to schools, Hopkinton village amenities, and I-89 for commuters.
