This sunny and spacious raised ranch is nicely set back on a long front lawn and only moments from town. It has four bedrooms, two baths, a large family room and open concept kitchen/dining/living room which faces sunrise over a beautiful meadow and wooded hills. The level sloping and elevated lawn borders a brook that attracts wildlife and on occasion a turtle or two. There's a newly placed fence in the manicured backyard. The walkout basement leads to the detached, large one-car garage with work space heat and second floor storage. There's lots of open space for gardens and the storage shed was once the home of some hens. This is a well cared for home you would enjoy from the front views to the back deck.
