About This Home

As of August 2022

This is the perfect property for someone looking to have it all: space and flexibility, open layout, privacy, and convenience. Your new five bedroom Northfield home has a spacious eat-in kitchen with granite countertops and an island that’s perfect for gatherings. The first floor also has a comfortable living room with a woodstove and brick hearth, as well as a dining room and a family room. Upstairs, you can spread out in the impressive primary bedroom with a large en suite bathroom with shower, soaking tub, and double vanities, as well as three other bedrooms AND a second floor bonus room and a home office. There’s so much flexibility with space! The lower level features another large en suite bedroom and a media or exercise room, which could also be used as a guest suite. The star of the exterior is the oversized workshop, that’s ideal for vehicles, equipment, or storage. There’s even a semi-finished room upstairs that was once used as an office. 10.73 acres of woods and open land that are great for gardens or sledding, as well as being an ideal candidate for solar panels. The house is just feet away from a paved road and an easy hop to Northfield, Norwich University, or 89. And, while convenient, with its nice private driveway, when you come home, you’ll be in your own little estate. Delayed showings begin 5/13/2022.
