Picture perfect perched on a knoll, this center hall Colonial c.1802 is on 20 acres with a beautiful view of its pond across the road and surrounded by open and lightly wooded land. This lovely home had a significant renovation in the late 90s, where it was taken down to the studs and updated. Carrying on with the charm of its time, with its exposed beamed ceiling kitchen opens to the dining area with a full wall of the custom-built cabinet and a wall of windows: a formal dining room, and a cozy living room with a fireplace. Spacious bathroom with a glass shower and sunk-in tub and a wall of windows to enjoy the serene setting. Two spacious bedrooms, one with a half bath, the other with a fireplace, office, and walk-in attic. An Artist/Writers studio was added off the kitchen with its vast open space, cathedral ceiling with sleeping loft with a library, kitchenette, and bathroom with large window, porch, and its own entrance that could also make a fabulous in-law or guest suite.
