Tired of cookie cutter vinyl boxes devoid of character? Take a look at this stone cape cod with standing seam metal roof and copper guttering on over 3 1/2 acres of landscaped and wooded property set well back from the road! Built in 1950, but completely gutted and renovated in 1995, this home retains its period charm with its original maple floors, glass doorknobs, vintage wood paneled and french doors, beadboard walls, built-in cabinetry, and lots of natural light. The first floor master suite to the right of the entry has french doors leading into the master bath and laundry area, with tiled floors and shower surround, exposed stone, and a vaulted ceiling. Across the hall, which has a coat closet and half-bath, a country kitchen with tile and marble counters, painted cabinets, and great lighting is roomy enough for a large table and plenty of storage. The sunny living room also boasts exposed stone and a vaulted ceiling, along with built-in shelves to display your treasures. A stained glass window lights up the stairway leading to two more bright, roomy bedrooms and another bath. More built-ins line the hall, which can be used as an office space or sitting room. Outside the front door, a stone terrace steps down to pavers that lead past a courtyard garden with a picket fence and custom arbor and on to a cypress sided two-car garage with workshop and loft. The charm continues through the landscaped back yard, with a stone paved wisteria arbor, and on to a detached screen house in the woods. Complete with a metal roof and cupola, this space is an oasis from the summer heat, and a great space for entertaining or just watching the fireflies and listening to the whipporwills. Behind the garage, there is a garden area with raised beds, and the front yard hosts dogwoods and other flowering trees, towering white oaks, and over a hundred blooming pink lady slipper orchids each spring. Don't let this absolutely charming home slip by!
