Lined by stone walls and set upon 1.36 acres this four bedroom, four full bath custom cape offers the perfect mix of the old and new. Boasting over 3400 square feet of living space, 5' wide rustic American cherry hardwood floors and built in 2003, this home has been thoughtfully designed with generous room sizes and a first floor master suite. The sprawling front porch overlooks a courtyard surrounded by an antique stone and wrought iron fence. A true cook's kitchen with granite counters, wall ovens, glass cook top and stainless steel appliances flows easily from the breakfast nook and into the formal dining room flanked by French doors. The floor to ceiling stone fireplace in the living room helps create the perfect spot to gather and chat for a while. The main floor master is large and inviting with pocket doors leading to the huge master bath with jetted tub, shower with frameless shower doors, dual vanities and separate water closet. An office or guest room with a full bath round out the main level. Upstairs, two large ensuite bedrooms plus a 4th bedroom or media room joins the two full baths. Outside, the 22' x 16' trex deck and stone patio lead to the heated, saltwater granite and gunite pool. An antique post and beam barn and stone smoke house remain from days gone by as do the mature fruit trees in the orchard. Conveniently located in the heart of Marlborough, it's a short distance to the center, Rt.2 and the new big name grocery store currently under construction.
