Spectacular home awaits you at the end of this tree-lined driveway. A full renovation (down to the studs) was done in 2005, restoring this exquisite farmhouse/colonial into a one-of-a-kind oasis in a magical setting.. Two gorgeous additions were seamlessly added using reclaimed beams and all updates were made with the highest quality craftsmanship and top of the line appliances/hardware. The wiring and plumbing was redone, air-conditioning and radiant heat added in most rooms, windows replaced, ceilings pushed up, beautiful tile work in all bathrooms. A screened-in porch was added overlooking the extensive blue stone terrace and sweeping lawn with mature trees, tree house, organic vegetable and flower gardens. All this AND a three bedroom carriage house with two garages and multiple sheds. Enjoy close proximity to shops and restaurants, Hamilton Schools and commuter rail . New town pool and park just steps away. Crane’s Beach and boating on the Essex River minutes away
