Baker Hill House

Description

This wonderful home, constructed in the traditional plank wall style of the early 1800's, was built from the timbers harvested on the land. It operated as a farm for over one hundred years. The house has now been restored without losing its simple charm. Warm and cozy, quiet and secluded, yet quite accessible.
The home features 1,800 square feet of well-appointed living space, sprinkled with bright decor and antique touches that make the property feel spacious and warm. Nestled away from the busy city, you'll have ample outdoor space to enjoy and a quiet place to return to.
