Own a remarkable piece of Etna history! Situated on three separate parcels, this distinctive in-town homestead features the historic Balfrey house, constructed circa 1905.

The updated kitchen includes quartz countertops, a walk-in pantry and a convenient laundry area. A new central furnace provides the home’s primary heat.
The property also includes a detached garage and the original carriage house. The two adjoining parcels, now reunited with the original homestead, offer pasture area and a historic two-story barn.
