About this home

Shadberry Farm, the quintessential country estate, is a one of a kind property that is set in the most tranquil, and serene of settings. The renovated, and authentic, farmhouse dates to 1815 and sets among the many majestic estates in the Historic Trenton Falls Area. The settings for these original estates were meticulously chosen both for their breathtaking and bucolic views, but also for the predominance of fresh spring water, game filled woods, peaceful surrounds, and certainly the proximity to civilization. Predominately, over the last 15 years, a number of key renovations and upgrades have thoughtfully improved the lifestyle offered by this lovely home. many energy efficient improvements have been done to include: 2015 boiler, full teardown and replacement metal and roof in 2008, replacement windows, electrical, insulation, plumbing updates, blue board and vinyl siding, spring box renovation ...not to mention the addition of the 5 ponds adding to the aesthetic features of the land but also to encourage an abundant wildlife. the ultimate vision was to really capture the essence of the original homestead cosmetically... which encompassed certainly, modern conveniences...but with an elegance rarely created in today's 'hard shell' builds. The main level boasts a large living room with magnificent French doors...renovated kitchen with black matte granite counters, custom built cabinetry, wolf gas range, and walk in pantry...formal dining, formal living room with very efficient Lafayette wood burning stove, half bath, several storage options, and bonus family room or office space with wood burning fireplace, and finally the grand foyer with one of kind curved staircase. The second floor will not disappoint! With a large master, 2 additional bedrooms one with a renovated wood fireplace boasting new flue, 2 full baths and a whole lot of storage and charm! The home 'feels' good and beckons one to stay for a while. The lower basement level is dry and totally usable for storage. This leads to the attached 2 stall garage. Through the years, all the inhabitants of the home have been wonderful caretakers and have strived to maintain the original features.
