Rustic South Kent - Three-bedroom Cape on a private 1.7 acres in a sought-after location. The main level of the home showcases warm, exposed rough-sawn beams and an open floor plan, with the country kitchen seamlessly flowing into the living room, anchored by a fireplace. From here, you're drawn to a light-filled three-season porch that overlooks the private backyard. This level also includes a formal dining room, a powder room, and a spacious mudroom that connects the home to the attached two-car garage. The upper level features a primary bedroom suite with a private bath, walk-in closet, and flexible space that could work as a home office or nursery, along with two additional bedrooms that share a full hall bath. A finished room above the garage and an additional room housing an "endless pool" (currently not operational) offer numerous possibilities as well. This is a wonderful country retreat located on a quiet road with easy access to NYC via Metro-North, as well as the villages of Kent and New Preston.
