A dairy barn in Hampden, Massachusetts, converted into a farmhouse is now on the market for $699,900. The property retains its historic feel while also offering modern conveniences, according to a Boston.com article.
The renovated farmhouse is located at 236 Mill Road on a three-acre plot. Built in 1930, it saw a significant renovation in 1999. This included updating the insulation and repurposing it into a living space. Original barn boards were carefully removed and later reinstated to maintain the integrity of the dairy barn, stated Ryan McDowell of Naples Realty Group, who listed the property.
Inside the home, exposed beams and high cathedral ceilings complement the historic authenticity. The open-concept floor plan encompasses a dining room, living room, and kitchen on the first level. Furthermore, the kitchen is outfitted with wooden cabinets, granite countertops, open shelving, and stainless steel appliances, according to the Naples Realty's property listing.
A pantry and laundry room supply additional storage and convenience, while the restored silo contains a wine cellar and extra storage. The first floor also contains a cozy living room with a warming gas fireplace, a full bathroom, and a primary bedroom suite which features a spacious walk-in closet, seating area, and a private deck.
As highlighted by the same Boston.com article, the second floor offers an open entertaining area with exposed barn boards, the original pulley system, and high 40-foot ceilings. There's also a wet bar. The main house is connected to the silo and three-car garage by a deck. Homeowners can choose to use the second-floor suite, which includes a walk-in closet, as their primary bedroom.
The third level houses another bedroom and a full bathroom. The listing further mentions that the home features central air conditioning and a three-zone gas heating system.
Outdoor living is encouraged by an in-ground pool and patio. As the property listing notes, residents can enjoy sunrise views from the master bedroom and relax with the sunset from the deck on the second floor.
