About this home

Nestled on over 1.5 acres of serene countryside, this lovingly maintained antique Colonial blends historic charm with modern updates. Surrounded by organic gardens, mature perennials, and a picturesque granite flower bed, the property features a private deck, treehouse, chicken coop, and storage shed. Inside, enjoy a welcoming mudroom leading to an open, eat-in kitchen with a large pantry and picture window overlooking the wooded backyard. The family room boasts wide pine floors and fireplace while the formal living room offers a cozy wood stove. Upstairs, the primary bedroom charms with a wood-beamed ceiling and fireplace, accompanied by three additional bedrooms. Recent updates include refinished floors (2021), new wood stair treads (2021), a new fence (2023), and custom shelving in closets. Energy-efficient solar panels and an upgraded electrical panel (2016) add to the appeal. Located in a great commuter spot, this gem offers both character and convenience.
