Set on a beautifully landscaped lot just a short stroll from downtown Cornish, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath New Englander offers a rare combination of privacy, character, and exceptional outdoor living. Thoughtfully maintained, the home has been refreshed with exterior siding repairs and painting in 2025, along with a newly updated fence, creating a property that's as inviting outside as it is inside. The grounds are truly something special. Peruse the lush gardens filled with apple and peach trees, blueberries, raspberries, elderberries, cranberry plants, rhubarb, and asparagus, with plenty of room to create your own vegetable garden. A stunning wisteria-covered pergola becomes the centerpiece of the yard each season, offering a picturesque setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing. Two private patios and a cozy fire pit invite you to enjoy peaceful mornings, quiet evenings, and everything in between. Nature lovers will appreciate the remarkable sense of privacy. The backyard borders a neighboring horse pasture, while wetlands attract a variety of birds and wildlife, creating a tranquil backdrop throughout the year. In the spring, the chorus of peepers provides the perfect soundtrack to your morning coffee on the porch. Adding to the home's versatility, the finished barn features two spacious bonus rooms ideal for a studio, home office, fitness space, guest accommodations, or countless other possibilities. Above, a two-story walk-up attic provides outstanding storage. A whole house backup generator gives peace of mind. Enjoy the convenience of being within walking distance of downtown Cornish's locally owned shops, galleries, library, cafes, restaurants, and everyday essentials. This is a property that offers more than a place to live--it offers a lifestyle that's difficult to replicate and one that is best experienced in person.
