About This Home

As of December 2024

Tucked away in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood just minutes from the center of Freeport, you will find this delightful cottage-style home. The graceful curves of the driveway lead you toward this house, which is perfectly situated to take full advantage of its natural setting. Mature trees, ''wilding'' gardens designed to attract and shelter bees and pollinators, and an undulating yard that creates vistas from every window add to the experience. The interior mirrors the exterior in that broad windows with southern exposure brighten the oversized kitchen with its thoughtful and extensive storage. A brick hearth with both a fireplace and a wood stove anchors the open floor plan and provides both a warm ambiance and an efficient alternate heat source. The great room ceiling soars, and large windows take in the views of the seasons and the light year-round. Just off the great room is an expansive deck perfect for entertaining, dining, and birdwatching. Also on the first level is a primary suite with a thoughtfully designed zero-threshold shower. Behind the kitchen is another bedroom, currently utilized as a den and home office space with an ensuite bath and laundry area. Upstairs, you will find another expansive bedroom and sitting area that can also serve multiple uses, and a private, oversized bathroom with skylights. This space is perfect for visiting guests and could accommodate more than one bed or be used as a media room, gym, or even a studio. Newer and highly efficient boiler as well as a whole house generator. Storage is plentiful with a large unfinished basement and another generous space over the garage.
