Stately colonial farmhouse nestled upon the most beautiful property in Dryden school district. Meticulously kept and set far back off the road and overlooking the surrounding farmland. So many big bright windows to let in the peaceful views and ample sunshine. Updated kitchen with glazed, soft-close cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a tile backsplash. Breakfast nook off the kitchen as well as a formal dining room. Walk out back to the huge wrap around deck with access to the fenced in yard and steps up to the in-ground pool area. Spend all summer in the pool surrounded by luxurious flower gardens at the top of a completely private hill. Double sided fireplace in the living room and new carpet throughout. All bedrooms are upstairs with their own full bath. Huge master bedroom with it's own office/sitting area. Gorgeous scenery outside every window of the hills and valleys. Oversized 2 car garage as well as a huge barn with electric. Convenient to everything
