Set near the end of Old County Road, this 3.2-acre property offers exceptional privacy close to town. Beautifully maintained 3BR/2BA Royal Barry Wills-style Cape. Wills influenced Capes are prized for their timeless proportions, low rooflines, central chimneys, small pane windows, and overall authenticity--qualities reflected throughout this well kept home. The 24 ft front to back living-dining room with gas fireplace features a broad block of windows with views of the back yard and the forest beyond. The den, with adjacent full bath, could serve as a first-floor bedroom if needed. There are 3 bedrooms and a full bath upstairs. The enclosed breezeway with herb garden & open terrace provide a charming seasonal living space. With 540± ft of private road frontage, this is one of the largest lots in this long established neighborhood with underground utilities and mature landscaping. Close to town for convenient grocery shopping. Our local hospital, library, school, restaurants, and the town dock are just minutes away.
