Overview

A rare blend of historic charm and modern craftsmanship, the beloved "Ash House" offers an exceptional living experience along one of Mansfield's designated scenic roadways. Originally built circa 1732, the saltbox colonial was meticulously dismantled, preserved, and rebuilt on its current 2.5 acre setting. Completed in 2013, this "new antique home" honors its heritage while providing the comfort, efficiency, and longevity of a thoughtfully engineered modern build. Inside, the home showcases original wide pine floorboards, antique doors and hardware, plaster walls, period wood moldings and a built-in corner hutch. At its heart is a striking central chimney with 4 working fireplaces, including one with a Hearthstone woodstove and a traditional "beehive" bake oven. The kitchen was designed with a minimalist, period appropriate aesthetic and features exposed beams, a cast iron farm sink, matching wood hutches for storage, and direct access to the stone patio for outdoor dining. The first floor also includes a dining room, living room, family room, office, and a full bath with laundry. The second story of the main house offers two bedrooms, each with an ensuite full bath. One bedroom includes a working fireplace and access to the walk-up attic, providing a third level of storage or potential future expansion. Above the kitchen from a back staircase, a private third bedroom suite features a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, a romantic clawfoot tub, and a separate shower.
