Description:
The Simeon Sherwin House, built in 1844, is one of three look-alike houses known as "Three Sisters". The house was owned by Olivia Goldsmith in the 1990's who wrote The First Wives Club. Her worldly, vibrant imprint is still evident in many of the home's unique features. Architecturally, the stone exterior is unique with large blocks (quoins) of schist and mica at the corners. Inside, there is a delightful three season sunroom and formal dining room with woodstove insert, chandelier and an array of full light doors which open to the large, bright kitchen and first floor full bath. A sitting room with a double-sided fireplace connects to the spacious living room. The inviting foyer leads to the second floor which features 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and a sitting room. An addition added by the author and named the Queen's Room during the current owners bnb tenure features built-ins, a partition wall with transom window and a wood stove insert flanked by cozy built-in seats. The primary bath features gold-plated fixtures, a skylight and soaking tub. The first floor also has a heated, retail space for a home business with a separate entrance and office above that has served as an antique shop. The two-car attached, garage has unfinished, overhead space. The exterior needs some sprucing up and a new owner will want to add cosmetic upgrades. The property on .70 acres has a lovely yard with a hydrangea bush, charming bridge, small pond and stone bench overlooking the picturesque village.
