This 1781 historic farmhouse looks like a quintessential New England home: A quaint red house with white windows nestled in among century-old trees. It has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and 3,148 square feet of indoor space. It costs $639,800. It is being listed by Chris Upton.— Jenifer B. McKim, Globe Staff

The home is known as the “David Lane House,” after a descendant of the town’s founding Colonial-era family.

Hints of bygone times can be seen in the house’s so-called great room, which features wide-planked wood floors and two brick fireplaces, one featuring a hanging cast-iron pot evoking times when dinner was cooked above an open fire.

The great room offers ample space for a living room, parlor and a dining room with built-in cabinets.

High ceilings and large windows add to a sense of space.

Attached to this room is a bedroom, library, another fireplace and full bath, including the whirlpool tub and shower.

The entrance to the house opens into the renovated kitchen with wood flooring, granite countertops, an electric stove and maple cabinets.

There’s a large pantry and a door leading to the backyard, including a brick patio and nearby gazebo.

Off the kitchen, there’s a bonus room that can be used as an office or family room.

The room leads to the two-car garage, which has a large unfinished second floor that could be used for storage or updated into living space.

Stairs from the “great room” lead to three bedrooms, two updated baths as well as ample closet space.
