"Classic Saltbox in Parklike Setting"
$ 569,900
Amid the sprawling lawn and mature trees of which any arboretum would be envious, you will find this classic New England “Post and Beam” colonial home. An invitingly elegant cedar sided two-story home is nestled into 1+ acres of beautiful gardens, professionally landscaped and lovingly cared for. Step through the front door into a by-gone era of exposed beams and natural wood ceilings typical of 18th century post and beam construction. Built to last 500 years, this home is elegantly appointed from the beautiful Great Room chandelier of wrought iron and hand blown glass globes to the distinctive Swedish tiled fireplace. Elegant detail, gleaming hardwood floors and gracious finishing touches make this a place to which you will be proud to invite friends and family. Large rooms and a flowing floor plan, beautiful grounds and a large deck with hot tub make entertaining a delight both inside and out. For the nature lover seeking a place of quiet relaxation and an ever unfolding of Mother Nature’s surprises, this home has it all. Located near shopping, bike trails, recreation, dining, and transportation, what more could you want?
