Seller has accepted Offer. A woodland setting with convenient access to Route 309, this home offers you a retreat with convenience in a lovely property and spacious home. The façade perfectly blends with the sylvan surroundings and guides you into the home’s foyer flowing into the dining area to the rear, both sitting beneath a 12’ peak timbered cathedral ceiling. The formal living room one step down to the left is spacious and calm, a bow window overlooking the expansive front yard. The home’s kitchen offers an abundance of space for work or gathering with double wall oven, island with cook top, two-tier peninsula with breakfast bar, and a window above the sink overlooking the back yard and woodland beyond. A mud room, opening to a rear covered porch, and attached two-car garage complete the main level. Upstairs, three well sized bedrooms, a spacious primary with double closets, are served by an immaculate full bath boasting a claw-foot soaking tub, double vanity, and beautiful tile surround corner shower, with glass walls and door offering an open feel. The lower level offers an abundance of additional living space beginning with a family room, wood paneled walls and beamed ceiling pair with the stone surround wood-burning fireplace to make this a wonderful gathering space filled with warmth and charm. A fourth bedroom as well a second full bath, which also houses the home’s laundry, complete this lower level. The lowest level of the home offers a marvelous recreation room with beautiful built-in bar and ample bar-back storage, as well as further built-in shelving and cabinetry to the far end all presented in beautiful wood paneling. A private office to the rear of the home connects to the utility and storage space on this level, this room connecting via stair to the garage above. Outside, the mature trees surrounding the clearing for front and back yards, a rear covered porch and two-tiered stamped concrete patio offer ideal outdoor living spaces! A detached one-car garage offers abundant room to store outdoor equipment! With over 1.3 acres outside and over 2600sf within, this is a property which perfectly blends charm and space.
