Welcome to this 4-bedroom Cape Cod, which sits on 4 sprawling acres and directly borders the 190-acre Onion Mountain Park. Wrapped in a dense tree canopy with no neighbors behind you, this home offers total seclusion and a level of privacy that is increasingly rare. With the park's Red Trail at your property line, you enjoy immediate access to miles of quiet hiking and local wildlife. The home is defined by its impressive scale and exceptionally large rooms. This property features a central cooling system that blows cold air and a robust heating system powered by a furnace, supplemented by baseboard heaters in the semi-finished basement. The main layout features two distinct hearths: a cozy wood-burning stove in the kitchen and a traditional open fireplace in the living room. Floor-to-ceiling windows act as a gallery to the woods, and a small creek runs alongside the shared driveway. Bring your vision to this well-loved retreat and trade neighborhood noise for the ultimate park-side lifestyle.
