This home combines attractive craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and a practical layout throughout. A highly efficient woodstove (there is also radiant heating under the floor) makes the kitchen a warm haven, boasting not only Shaker-style red birch cabinetry but also a large walk-in pantry, quartz countertops, and an adjoining, matching laundry room. From the connecting family room, French Doors lead to a bluestone and brick patio with a great slate fire pit in a private backyard. The convenient first-floor primary bedroom has a walk-in closet plus a custom tiled bathroom with locally crafted cabinetry and a curbless walk-in shower. Completing the first floor are the dining room, living room featuring a large brick fireplace with custom mantel, and a hideaway office. Upstairs, a library (or play/study area) is flanked by two more bedrooms and a bath, as well as a large walk-in closet and two attic areas for possible expansions. The exterior boasts attractive cedar siding and a new roof, and the grounds feature stone retaining walls, mature plantings, and a woodland path leading (past a useful shed) into a 56-acre state-owned wildlife preserve. There is an oversized two-car garage along with a woodshed that could become a carport, boatport or other amenity. In the spotless basement, a large workshop (with included workbenches) leaves plenty of room for new owners to create a recreation room. Solar Panel Array Avail. for extra 12K.
