Comfort is paramount with double-glazed Pella windows that provide soundproofing and energy efficiency, forced hot water oil heat, and beautifully crafted custom radiator covers. The home features three working wood-burning fireplaces and one propane fireplace, adding warmth and ambiance throughout.

For year-round enjoyment, the finished basement includes an indoor swimming pool with a new filtration system and adjacent his-and-her changing rooms. There is a tennis court that could be renovated as a pickle ball court or a new tennis court. A separate outbuilding on the property currently serves as an art studio but offers incredible flexibility, easily converted into a private guesthouse, rental unit, or home office. Meander through the small apple orchard and past raised garden beds, a berry patch, and a chicken coop as you head toward the enchanting, spring-fed swimming hole. Outdoor living is at its best with a fully fenced side yard, a brick patio perfect for al fresco dining and grilling. The attached, walk in, two-car garage includes a charming one-bedroom apartment above with its own private entrance ideal for guests, in-laws, or rental income (short or long-term).
