    What's special

    Beautifully situated at the end of a semi-private lane sits this 5 bedroom, three full-bath charming, century home set on 17.5 acres of woods, streams and privacy. It’s like living in your own Metro Park with hiking, exploring and playing in the streams at your fingertips. The exceptional, vaulted Great room features a large wood-burning fireplace with a mantle dating back to the late 1700’s. The hardwood floors and large windows (some newer) let in lots of light and spectacular views of the expansive property. The Dining room features hardwood floors, newer windows (one bay) and is large enough for family gatherings and entertaining. The Family room surprises with a unique brick floor, all newer windows, the second of three fireplaces and easy access to the stone patio. The kitchen also has a cozy fireplace, with a mantle circa late 1700s, along with a new range, fan/hood, dishwasher and a butcher block island. With three sinks there is plenty of room for more than one cook. The private, first-floor Owners’ suite features another bay window overlooking the back property, access to the updated Owners’ bath and to the large stone patio. There is another bedroom in this area being used for a home office. The charming guest bedroom, also on the first floor, has an attached, updated bath. The first-floor laundry is just off the entry from the two-car garage. The second-floor features two more bedrooms and an updated, full- bath. The stairs and the entire second floor have new carpet. There are two patios: one a large stone patio perfect for entertaining, the other a smaller brick patio off the kitchen. There is also a barn and a “playhouse” on the property.
