The spacious, fenced back yard with inground pool serves as an oasis for pets and guests alike. The property boasts a generous first floor MBR and half bath.

An idyllic respite at the end of the day. Neatly tucked back away from North Benson road, this property opens out to a lovely spacious lot which contains both an open lawn as well as a "secret garden" filled with colorful blossoming trees and perennials, which surround the in-ground swimming pool and patio. When you enter the home you begin with an entrance foyer which accommodates outdoor clothing and footwear in true New England mudroom fashion. This communicates to the great room. In one corner is tucked a wood burning stove to chase away the chill of a fall or winter evening. Currently the room is purposed as an open concept living room and dining area. There is a generously sized Master bedroom on the first level with a half-bath ensuite. The entire back of the house is a kitchen with ample cabinet space and updated appliances, which opens out to the patio and your in-ground swimming pool. Upstairs are two more gabled bedrooms with a full bath. The natural light provided by the skylight is a treat in the morning. Gas Heat and Central Air Conditioning complete this very special offering. Come and see for yourself!
