Welcome to the Hunt, Reading, Sorby House, "the house under the rocks", one of the first homes built in Raven Rock. Exterior newly painted, new roof with copper flashing and back gutters installed. A split-rail fence frames this unique home that has been thoughtfully updated over the years. Enter the foyer, part of the original structure, and step down to the living room with exposed fieldstone walls and the 'kitchen fireplace' with woodburning stove insert. Heading back through the foyer find the dining room that leads into the updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite counters, radiant heat floors, and high ceilings. A powder room, first floor laundry, and walk-in pantry complete this level. A pie staircase leads up to the private quarters above. The two-story primary bedroom suite features custom millwork on 'one of the most beautiful and original paneled fireplace walls still in existence in the area.' Steps lead up to a small office/library, ensuite bath with double vanity and glass shower, and dressing room with custom built-ins. A large guest room with vaulted ceiling, loft, and charming covered porch connects to a dressing room/office, which flows into the third bedroom; full hall bath is adjacent. The terraced yard offers tidy flower beds, established perennials, a dining platform with privacy fence, and shed. History and charm blend beautifully with modern conveniences in this special home across from Bulls Island. New 3 bedroom septic installed.
