From the Agent: "The Thomas McLean house comes with a rich history. Located across from Susan B. Anthony’s childhood home, the home was also featured in the book A Simpler Way of Life, as well as the movie The Horse Whisperer starring Robert Redford and Scarlett Johansson. A number of historic details remain, including the original period Dutch-style front door, window sashes, doors with Norfolk hinges, and four fireplaces with original mantels. Also included in the sale is the original post office in Battenville, founded by Daniel Anthony in 1829."
A large deck overlooking the home’s lush lawn offers ample space to gather and entertain.
Period details, including hardwood floors and built-in bookshelves, dot the sprawling interior. The main living area features one of the home’s four original mantels.
Exposed beams span the kitchen, which comes with a mix of old and new cabinetry.
Many of the home’s six bedrooms are located on the top level, including the primary suite.
A glass-enclosed sunroom offers an idyllic spot to savor the landscape all year round.
