The house is set back from the road for complete privacy. Once inside the house, the cottage-style windows frame charming views of the forest and gardens, with additional light flooding in from several skylights. The primary bedroom, bath, and laundry are conveniently located on the first floor. The house has many custom features: a cathedral ceiling in the family room, two sets of pocket doors, two brick wood-burning fireplaces, one with a wood-burning stove insert. Custom built-ins adorn the family room, living room and dining room. Random width cherrywood floors grace the first floor. There is ample storage throughout, including a kitchen pantry, and a 2nd-floor walk-in closet. The kitchen includes a black granite island, quartz countertops with an under-mounted double sink. The bathrooms are updated, with a stand-alone cast-iron bathtub in the primary bath. Structural items have been well-maintained, with a new roof in 2012, a newly built chimney in 2023 and an efficient oil burner installed in 2006. Included are double oil tanks holding a total of 600 gallons, a hot water heater (2019), a radon system (2015) to remove gases from the water, and a reverse osmosis uranium system at the kitchen sink (2021). Also included is a 7500 watt gasoline-powered generator, wired to restore vital functions in the house.
