Here's your opportunity to own an heirloom-quality property on Orange's leafy Walnut Hill. This oversized Victorian farmhouse offers 5 bedrooms (1 plus a full bath on main floor), a wonderfully inviting floorplan for entertaining, and endless charm. It's been faithfully restored to period glory, with smart design updates for the conveniences you expect today. The grounds are lovely, too: fully-fenced 1+ acre with large lawn, 20x40 in-ground pool, fruit trees, stone walls, and massive 3-story barn. You will surely have the happiest guests all summer long, but this is a home for 4 seasons. Warmth and comfort are provided by the Buderus boiler, insulated windows, and potbelly woodstove in the cozy den. This home offers the best of all worlds and so does its location. Less than a mile to Orange's friendly downtown businesses including Quabbin Harvest Co-Op and TrailHead General Store/Cafe; 2 miles to Lake Mattawa beach; and 1 mile to Rte 2 for easy commuting. Come live the dream!
This remarkable home has stood the test of time. Cared for greatly by the present owners, now it's time for new lives to be lived here. Ample space to accommodate just about any lifestyle choice. Nice even flow to the 1st floor with a comfortable & inviting eat-in kitchen, formal dining room, living room, music room, office and full bath. The French doors opening from the kitchen bring you right onto the deck & fenced area of the yard that includes a 20 x 40 in-ground pool. Lovely grounds surround this home on an oversized acre+ lot. It would be impossible not to notice how the wood shines on the stairway leading to the 2nd floor. Climb those stairs & find that this floor offers 5 bedrooms, an office & another full bath. For additional storage there is also a walkup attic. The neatly trimmed grounds are home to a great 3 story barn with a full basement. Newer windows and Buderus boiler for comfort & efficiency. This home invites you in -- It will no doubt tug at you to stay!
