Custom built in 1985 this quintessentially Classic New England Cap Cod style home was built in the country style. It's construction reveals extreme attention to detail, evident in it's design, layout, & finishes. Beginning with the outside you'll see that it was sided with costly cedar which establishes a classic weathered look which is virtually indestructible & maintenance free and only looks better as the seasons go on. Taking advantage of the rugged setting the house was placed far back from the road, the driveway left stoned to blend with the surrounding nature, & was built on grade in the front but w/ a walk out in the rear. Though of modern construction the design is Old Style, with a high sloping low slung roof, a garage of lower elevation, a classic enclosed side entrance, and the family room extension in the back complete with it's centered masonry chimney. The floor plan is where the thoughtfulness of the architect shines as it is not your typical boxy cape at all. The Master Suite is on the first floor, in the northern wing. Spacious, private, w/ it's own well appointed bath. The kitchen is loaded with cabinetry and opens into the enormous family room, boasting a vaulted ceiling with country post and beams and a french door set to the large deck. The formal LR is set off to be easily used as an office or media room. The 2nd of 4 BRs is 22x15! There's a 23x25 family room in the walk out LL complete w/ full sized window sets.
