Off of the living room is a den or guest room to flexibly suit your needs. Adjacent to the dining room, the kitchen offers an excellent foundation for a future expansion, potential renovation and features skylights and a commercial-grade gas range. Lastly the dining room also opens to a deck through sliding glass doors, providing an easy connection to the outdoors, creating an ideal setting for summer dining and entertaining.

An extra room with its own exterior entrance in part of the basement adds even more possibilities for recreation, hobbies, workspace or storage. As you pull in to the large paved driveway, an open, covered front porch adds classic curb appeal and provides a welcoming place to enjoy the surrounding landscape. Outside, the property truly sets itself apart. A remarkable two-story barn/garage of approximately 4,000 square feet provides an extraordinary amount of space for vehicles, equipment, workshops, hobbies, storage, recreation or future customization. The structure features two oversized overhead garage doors and offers the kind of versatility that is increasingly difficult to find with residential properties. The grounds include a spring-fed pond populated with large koi and catfish, wooded areas, open lawn and abundant wildlife. The natural setting offers privacy while also providing tremendous potential for additional landscaping, gardens, outdoor entertaining areas and recreational use. Adding to the property's appeal is the size and configuration of the acreage, including wooded land toward the rear. There may be potential for future subdivision or additional residential development, including consideration of a right-of-way providing access to the rear portion of the property. Any subdivision or development potential is subject to verification, zoning, Planning Board approval, applicable access requirements, environmental constraints and all other governmental approvals.
