Private hilltop estate of over 10 acres. Tucked away in a tranquil wooded setting and perched high on a hill overlooking the river valley, this property provides the ultimate in privacy while still being convenient to town. The stately 2005 colonial has been meticulously maintained with an updated kitchen, a new roof, lots of new flooring, and two heat pumps. The recently completed addition of a stunning great room is filled with natural light, walls of windows, and a cozy pellet stove for year-round enjoyment. The living room's pellet stove fireplace insert is another cozy and beautiful element that provides efficient heat and ambiance. The impressive finished basement provides extra living and entertaining space and includes a full bathroom. Upstairs, the primary bedroom suite features a spacious seating area, walk-in closet, and jetted soaking tub in the en-suite. Two more bedrooms with generous closet space and a second full bath with laundry complete the second floor. An air exchanger, water softener, and generator hookup are some of the details that help lend peace of mind that systems will operate reliably. The attached two-car garage offers direct entry to both the main floor and the basement. Just across the paved driveway is a separate shop/garage ideal for light maintenance work, storage, or business needs. For the hobby gardener, you'll find many treasures scattered throughout the property including apple, cherry, and plum trees, blueberry and blackberry bushes, rhubarb plants, and plenty of space for a vegetable garden. A separate garden shed will house your tools and equipment. Tastefully blending privacy, luxury, and functionality, while the surrounding natural beauty truly sets it apart, this property is remarkable.
