Classic never goes out of style! Built in 1764, expanded circa 1807, and remodeled in 1913, the Whitman-Duffy House has all the charm of an authentic Colonial farmhouse, imbued with a Victorian love for spacious rooms, large windows, and grand wall space – all set on a private 0.76-acre lot with Gunite pool, full pool house, 3-bay garage, circular driveway, and native garden beds, right in the middle of town. Now thoughtfully restored and stylishly updated, 208 North Main is move-in ready for 21st-century living. All done within the last year: kitchen with soapstone counters updated; new refrigerator, dishwasher, and hood; two bathrooms updated; repointing of stone foundation; lots of new paint; gutter-drainage system; all six fireplaces inspected; feature beech and linden trees professionally cared for; and myriad other details that make for a comfortable, beautiful home. Architectural highlights in a house full of history: original wide-plank flooring; birds-eye maple flooring, c.1913; original wood panel walls; two "cooking" fireplaces with beehive ovens; exposed wood beams; enlarged formal staircase; L-shaped living room with two fireplaces and library; and corner cabinet with leaded glass signed by Charles Whitman! Prior recent work includes refinished floors, exterior paint, updated electrical. Full attic and basement with so much potential. Walking distance to both WH Center and Bishop's Corner, zoned for Morley, and sited high above the property's former farmlands.
