This rare contemporary, set back on 3.69 acres, located in the south end of town is just minutes from the mass pike. This unique home represents one of the early passive solar homes. The first floor includes an updated kitchen with granite counters; the living room has a new custom window and slider with built in book cases that leads out to a wraparound deck and a fenced in yard; there is also a dining room, family room, remodeled mud room and a comfortable office. The second floor offers a spacious hallway that leads to the three bedrooms and a unique loft. The generous master bedroom includes a relaxing sitting area with a walk in closet. There is also a newer insulated, finished garage that is wired for a generator. This home contains a balance between old and new. The doors are hand carved and pegged, the claw bathtub was cast in 1906 and the maple flooring in the master bedroom was removed and reinstalled from a local roller rink. This rare and unique home is a must see.
