Absolutely stunning! Gorgeous country retreat set on 2 level acres in the Taunton area of town. Enter through the gated gravel driveway and continue to the front entrance under a covered porch into the foyer of this magnificent home. Charming touches are everywhere, from the sleeping loft above the foyer to the extensive moldings with hidden storage throughout the home to the fairytale-like closet under the arts and crafts staircase. French doors with access to the private and gorgeous grounds can be found in nearly every room. The expansive great room is the heart of this home with a vaulted, beamed ceiling and a brick fireplace and dining room anchoring the room on either end. To the other side of the foyer is the eat-in kitchen with a center island and wide-plank flooring. A living room with fireplace and built-in bookshelves offers more living space, as does the library with walls of bookshelves and a metallized Anaglypta ceiling. Two bedrooms, one with french doors to a private deck and a study/den are located in this wing of the home. An office with built-in shelving and file drawers has it's own patio accessed via french doors. Upstairs, the master bedroom suite features built-ins, a window seat, and a beadboard ceiling. The elegant master bath has a marble tiled floor and shower, a large soaking tub and a custom made marble-topped double sink. In addition to 4 closets there is gorgeous dressing room overlooking the Gunite pool in the back yard. A truly special home!
