Historic Charm Meets Modern Convenience Step into history with this exceptional Federal-Greek Revival home, a stunning example of 19th-century craftsmanship and aesthetics. Modeled after the architectural pattern books of the 1820s, this brick "farmer’s cottage" boasts elegant proportions and classic elements, all within a two-story design that blends historic charm with modern living.  Elegant Living Spaces This residence features four generous bedrooms, a full bath, and two half baths, one of which can easily be converted to suit your needs. The home offers a formal dining room, a cozy family sitting room, and a double parlor area with a wood-burning fireplace, providing distinct spaces for relaxation and entertaining.  Cook’s Kitchen The deVOL-inspired kitchen is a perfect blend of timelessness and modern functionality. Handcrafted cherry cabinetry, exposed brickwork, Vermont soapstone countertops, and Cambria quartz create an expertly equipped cooking environment, complete with chef's appliances and an efficient layout.  Functionality and Flow Adjacent to the kitchen, the garden room features floor-to-ceiling windows, merging beauty with convenience. The home includes its original pantry, a laundry/utility room with a standing shower, and a woodshed/mudroom that leads to a converted two-car garage, originally the carriage barn.  Historic and Modern Features The home’s fieldstone foundation, handmade woodwork, original handblown glass windows, and exterior shutters preserve its historical authenticity. Architectural integrity is showcased through handmade bricks, post and beam construction, and Potsdam Sandstone details. Recent updates include re-roofing, re-clapboarding, exterior painting, and matching Marvin windows at the back. All mechanicals—sump pumps, plumbing, insulation, heating, and electrical systems—are recent and maintained to ensure comfort and efficiency.  Meticulously Maintained Gardens The surrounding perennial gardens provide a serene outdoor space, perfect for relaxation and complementing the home’s period feeling.  A Piece of Local Heritage Built by one of Canton’s earliest settlers, this home is part of the original farm that is now St. Lawrence University.
