About this home

Discover the perfect blend of modern simplicity and refined warmth in this light-filled Scandinavian-style farmhouse. Sited on nearly three acres, offering peace and seclusion, this thoughtfully designed home features an open and sunny floor plan, hardwood floors throughout, a farm style kitchen with Basaltina countertops, a Monson slate farm sink, custom cabinetry and a wood stove that serves as a warm focal point in the kitchen area. The spacious living room with coffered ceilings centers around a wood burning fireplace, creating an inviting space for gatherings or quiet moments at home. The first floor study with closets and built-ins is also suited as a bedroom option. Upstairs, vaulted ceilings and hardwood floors add to the airy, open feel, complementing the home's flexible and adaptable floor plan. Oversized Anderson windows in the primary suite frame views of the private wooded landscape, and showcase abundant natural light. Step outside to a private, fenced-in back lot with walking/snowshoe paths, gorgeous perennial gardens including raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries. The property also has a working barn with a workshop and a chicken coop, ideal for hobbyists, gardeners, or those looking for a touch of country living with easy access to urban amenities. This truly special home is gracious, comfortable, and effortlessly welcoming.

Pride of ownership is clear with this tastefully renovated farm house. The barn and private setting add to the great spaces this home has to offer. You'll love waking up here and coming home no matter what your day was like. Freeport convenience and amenities await. You will love living here as these folks have since 2012. So close to 295 yet you're in the country! Kitchen boasts a slate sink, new Kitchen Aid appliances, Basaltina counters (better than granite is the opinion of many), 2 pantries - a chef's delight. Wood stove and fireplace add to the charm of this special home. The seasonal sunporch is awesome too and the yard? Plenty of room to play!
