A thoughtfully reimagined New England farmhouse, this residence blends classic architecture with a refined modern sensibility. Rebuilt with exceptional attention to detail, the main level features a warm, light-filled living room with custom millwork, a beautifully appointed kitchen with quartz surfaces and professional-grade appliances, and a chic powder room with a sculptural stone sink and barn-style door, along with a dedicated dining area. The primary suite offers a serene retreat with vaulted ceilings, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath, complemented by a guest bedroom and full laundry room on the same level. A half-story up, two additional bedrooms share a generous second bath and offer abundant storage. The walkout lower level extends the living space with a mudroom and an inviting family room anchored by a gas fireplace and custom beverage center. Outdoor spaces include a fenced yard, kitchen deck, and gas-ready patio—ideal for relaxed gatherings.
