Cutting a handsome profile, this former boarding house has the best of many worlds. Not only do you have 18.8 acres and a babbling brook to enjoy but the convenience of being 3 minutes to Main St of one the cutest towns in the region. Not only do you have over 3000 sq ft in which to spread yourself out, but a heated pool and pool house in which to frolic. It was revived and updated with modern, efficient systems, including Pella windows, foam insulation, an on-demand hot water heating system, and a large porch addition. The sunken living room features a high-efficiency wood-burning fireplace and a cozy movie watching on a wall-mounted TV. The open-design kitchen is perfect for dinner parties, with four barstools where guests can sit, sip cocktails, and chat. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area has sliding doors that lead to the dining porch. A trellis allows wisteria to form natural shade on warm summer days, and a grill stands at the ready. The 7 bedrooms are spread across 3 floors. The primary suite on the 2nd floor has beautiful light and a deep soaking tub, ideal for unwinding after a stressful day lounging by the pool or after a winter hike. Four other BRs line the long hall. The third floor has two. The open area has previously been used as an office but would make a great work/play area. There are two separate basement areas. The unfinished area contains the mechanicals and storage, while the finished basement is a cozy den, perfect for a pool table or movie watching, complete with a fridge and dry bar. A wood stove keeps this area warm in winter. The pool area is an ideal summer retreat, with a large deck around the 1,000sq ft pool. The pool house serves as a playroom for all ages. The house benefits from the soothing sounds of a year-round stream just below, creating your own oasis of calm. The dead-end road sees next-to-zero cars passing by. © 2024 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
