This is a property with a movie-like story, there's love and loss, and lessons. It starts with a child falling in love with their neighbors' magical home, her parents saving it from development, eventually moving in herself with her own young family, and then returning decades later as a widow to navigate restoring the home again.
Ali Mahon is both the owner and designer of this beautiful old Federal-style farmhouse, built in 1804. She's also an antique dealer, and the barns on the property are now where she stores and sells her amazing finds. Here, Ali tells us the story of this house design right from the beginning, how she fully restored it when she moved back in 2020, adding in her unique style, which she describes as 'traditional with a twist.'
