Some homes have an address, others have a name, a history, and a story worth telling. Welcome to “Plum Nearly,” named many years ago when a young girl visited and declared it was “plum nearly perfect.” Nearly three centuries later, the name still seems fitting. Tucked away on 3.3 secluded acres off Whitford Circle, in one of the area’s most desirable neighborhoods, this remarkable property feels like a world of its own. Built in 1750 and thoughtfully expanded over the generations, the home sits beneath the graceful canopy of a majestic 300-year-old American Elm, with Pickle Pond along the property and a horse barn completing this quintessential New England setting. Inside, beautifully refinished fir floors, four fireplaces, and rooms filled with character tell the story of the original home. Yet “Plum Nearly” has evolved beautifully for modern living. A 1950s kitchen addition features slate countertops and a butler’s pantry with laundry, while the 1970s addition created a spacious first-floor primary suite with ensuite bath, soaking tub and its own three-season screened porch which is a peaceful retreat overlooking the grounds.The main level also offers a dining room, parlor, living room, office and second full bath, creating exceptional one-level living. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms, another fireplace and the charmingly named “closet toilet” half bath preserve a wonderful piece of the home’s history.And while the soul of the house may be centuries old, many of its important updates are not. Andersen windows were installed within the past two years, the furnace and central air are approximately 14 years old, mini-splits serve the additions, and the house and barn roofs are approximately 15 years old. The root cellar housing the furnace and oil tank has remained dry, and a newer shed, fully fenced yard and existing well with potential for irrigation add practicality to the property. Private yet part of a fabulous neighborhood, historic yet wonderfully livable, with acreage, a horse barn, pond and a setting that simply cannot be recreated! Perhaps that little girl had it right all those years ago. “Plum Nearly” is, indeed, plum nearly perfect.
