There’s something about a farmhouse, the bones of which date back to the 1850s, that seems to call to people. Wide planks, hand-hewn beams, a fieldstone foundation that has endured the best and worst of New England winters.

Age is part of what gives a home its historic character, but it isn’t the only consideration. This area has properties from many different periods, including homes built in the 1800s and early 1900s.
