There are homes with history—and then there are homes that have been part of the life of a community for more than two centuries.
Built circa 1795, 1393 Millstone River Road has stood along this historic corridor for generations, evolving with the village around it while retaining the character and craftsmanship of its past. Over the years, its distinctive storefront served the community as the Millstone Post Office and later as a yarn shop, with traces of those earlier chapters still woven into the fabric of the home.
Its story continued through the years as the property welcomed other local businesses, including a children's bookstore and The Millstone Workshop, an antiques and vintage home furnishings shop. Today, this extraordinary property offers its next owner the opportunity to become part of that remarkable story.
Step inside and the home's heritage immediately reveals itself through soaring ceilings, oversized windows, beautiful woodwork, substantial moldings, antique details and the wonderfully individual character that only a home of this age can possess.
The former storefront remains one of the property's most intriguing spaces. With an open layout, kitchenette, separate room and access to a full bath, it offers tremendous flexibility for a home office, studio, guest quarters, creative space or possible in-law suite.
Beyond it, the main residence unfolds into a surprisingly generous home with four spacious bedrooms and three full baths, including two baths featuring deep cast-iron soaking tubs that beautifully reflect the property's vintage character. The primary suite offers its own private bath and walk-in closet.
A bright kitchen, dining room, family room, living room and sunroom create a collection of inviting spaces for everyday living and entertaining, each with its own personality and connection to the home's past.
Outside, a tranquil yard and detached two-car garage add to the versatility of the property, while a brand-new septic system [3-bedroom certified septic] provides an important modern improvement.
Located along the historic Millstone River corridor and the Millstone Valley Scenic Byway, this is a property that has witnessed more than two centuries of local history.
Post office. Shop. Gathering place. Home.
1393 Millstone River Road has already lived many lives. Now, after more than 230 years, it is ready for someone new to write its next chapter. Sold As is.
