An 1840 Center-Hall Colonial, Named Madeline in Salisbury

On the village stretch of East Main Street in Salisbury, 61 East Main is an 1840 center-hall Colonial that has been well looked after and well detailed. The current owners call it Madeline.

The main level moves through a center-hall staircase into a living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a generously scaled dining room, and a kitchen with wide-plank floors, hand-hewn beams, a farmhouse sink, and an eat-in bar. A family room adjoins the kitchen and opens to a bluestone patio and private backyard. Also on this level: a library with a second fireplace, a first-floor en-suite bedroom, a half bath, and a potting room with an attached mudroom off the garden. Curved archways and custom built-in bookshelves run through the main floor.

Upstairs, three bedrooms share a full bath. The third floor holds a bonus room and a full bathroom with a clawfoot tub. The lot is 0.8 acres, level, with room to expand the existing gardens. A detached one-car garage and a whole-house generator round out the practical picture. Solar panels are installed.

The bike path to Lakeville runs adjacent to the property. The White Hart is a short walk.

61 East Main Street, Salisbury is listed at $1,500,000, offered by Lenore Mallett and Elvia Gignoux at William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty.
