About This Home

As of February 2022

Graciously updated mid century brick ranch with significant 2 story addition/remodel in 2004 by local craftsman. This casually elegant country home is set back on 2.3 private acres with a total of 4,029 sf including 2,534 sf on the main level with 3 bedrooms/3 full baths, plus an additional 1,486 sf in the expansive finished lower levels w/4th full bath. Abundant outdoor living areas include the charming fenced in front stone patio; double sliders from the LR to the awning covered rear patio; French door access from the MBR suite to a 3rd stone patio; plus sprawling yard. This stylish ranch offers a rambling farm house feel with warm hardwood floors, abundant windows/light, & cozy fireplaces in both the living & dining rooms. While mid-century décor is a hot trend, this mid century kitchen has stood the test of time with the original 1946 cabinets! The two story addition, designed to complement the vintage character, offers a state of the art MBR suite w/spa-like bath featuring timbered ceiling & 13'x10' dressing room. The open staircase to the lower level provides easy access to the walk-out FR w/built-in wet bar plus the private office/study w/adjoining full bath (great optional guest quarters) all w/radiant heated bluestone floors. The home's original walk-out lower level is also finished - perfect as a game/media rm or gym. Walk-up attic; attached barn style garage with beamed/vaulted ceiling; all just moments to Branchville Station, shopping, restaurants, & coffee shop!
