Captivating "Dorset Lodge" at the top of the Dorset Hollow embodies "The House by the Side of the Road" with its charm as well as its location that overlooks the historic water wheel at the turn in the road. It is surprisingly spacious with a country kitchen, butler's kitchen, formal dining room, living room, den, bedroom and bath on the first floor. This level has a great floor plan that flows from one room to the next! The roomy 16"x 14"master on the second floor has a vaulted ceiling and private bath. Two other guest rooms and bath complete this level of the house. Views of the Hollow from the over- sized kitchen and dining room windows are almost impossible to resist. In the evenings the screened in porch, with its views, is the place to live in the summer, and winter nights can be spent reading by the fire in the comfortable living room. Well-kept gardens add to the charm of this special piece of Dorset. The present owners have installed hardwood floors throughout the main level, created a custom mantel over the living room fireplace and upgraded the eat-in kitchen, which is the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee, overlook the meadows, watch the birds and read the paper. Walk or bike the Hollow, dip your toes in the Mettowee and love life here in this move in ready home. It’s just waiting for you and your loved ones to enjoy! (All measurements are approximate. )
