There is so much to love about this 3 bed 2 bath colonial with wrap-around porch, stunning views, and so much privacy! Whether you enjoy being out on the 12+ acres of land, watching the sunset from your west facing front porch, or cooking in your dream kitchen, there is no shortage of space or charm. You’re welcomed by a spacious mud room, clad in wood, with plenty of storage before finding a first floor laundry room and recently renovated full bath. The heart of the first floor is the sun filled kitchen with hickory cabinets, a large granite island and matching backsplash. The kitchen opens to the living and dining room, and also steps out to your back deck, spanning the length of the house, perfect for BBQs and entertaining all summer long! Upstairs holds 3 generous bedrooms and a gorgeous master bath with a tiled shower and double vanity. Need more space? The finished basement is the perfect spot for a den, gym, or office with a wood stove capable of keeping the whole house warm! Plenty of maples to tap on your own, or lease to the local sugarmaker who has tapped in the past. Tractor can be included in the sale.
