About This Home

As of November 2020

Welcome home to this charming and quintessential Cape Cod style residence located on a picturesque 2.20 acres, abutting Bennetts Pond State Park. Practical and thoughtful consideration was taken into account when the current homeowners renovated this special home, including the open floor plan concept that makes every day living and entertaining a breeze. The main level features the flowing white kitchen into an expansive dining area and family room absolutely drenched in sunlight, plus formal living and dining rooms nicely appointed with custom millwork and built-ins. The tile stair risers greet you every time you walk upstairs is a perfect example of the unique charm.The upper level offers the master bedroom with ensuite full bathroom, two additional bedrooms with ample closet space, and second full bathroom. The 2-car garage enters into the lower level, partially finished for a playroom, exercise room or office, plus convenient storage space. The 2.20 park-like acres is a respite away from it all with level backyard, stunning rock outcroppings and enjoyed from the deck with direct walk-out from the kitchen and family room. The property abuts Bennetts Pond State Park with marked trails, incredibly convenient to hop on the state trails directly from the property. A terrific balance of privacy and scenic setting, yet only minutes to Route 7 and Limestone Road for quick access to the village for shopping, restaurants and entertainment. A fabulous year-round or weekend getaway!
