New roofing on the front portion of the residence adds to the appeal of this distinctive New England country property, now offered at a superior value. The Bow Cape combines character, craftsmanship, and beautifully cultivated gardens with a thoughtful, flexible layout. Exposed beams, wood floors, and timeless architectural details complement a formal living room with a Rumford wood-burning fireplace and expansive windows overlooking the private grounds. The spacious dining room flows into an expanded and remodeled kitchen with maple cabinetry, stone countertops, new appliances, and a luxury Verona five-burner double gas range. A handcrafted sunburst gable and mountain carving add a distinctive artistic touch. The first-floor primary suite features vaulted ceilings, while a two-level addition provides a generous dressing room, laundry, and studio. Upstairs, two bedrooms with wide pine floors share a bath, while a fourth bedroom or media room with its own private bath offers flexibility for guests, family, or work. The grounds are exceptional, with perennial gardens, raised beds, a vegetable garden, strawberry patch, grapevines, and fruit trees including nectarine, apple, plum, cherry, and apricot. A greenhouse, flagstone patio, and deck invite outdoor enjoyment, while a tranquil pond, custom Japanese bridge, torii gate, meditative garden, and outdoor shower create a peaceful retreat. Additional features include a Vermont Castings wood stove, a dual water filtration system, a portable generator, a three-car heated garage with workshop space, and a 20x12 ShelterLogic shed. Minutes from Crotched Mountain Golf Club and Skiing, Scobie Pond, and Dinsmore Brook Conservation Area, this distinctive property offers an exceptional opportunity and value. The seller is open to offers. Bring yours today!
