Down a long private drive, this picturesque and graciously designed farmhouse is perched on a hill surrounded by a carpet of ferns and a forest of pines and maples. Fall in love with it's sweeping views from the massive wrap around porch and the soft melodic rush of the stream below. Cedar sided the 2-story home sits on 4+ private acres. The property itself is a wonderful combination of a forest landscape with a rolling pasture bordered by a mountain creek. Set to take advantage of the position of the sun there is an extensive enclosed garden with reclaimed hinges and copper finials, organic soil and perennial plantings. The interior combines classic original details like hand hewn beams, wide plank floors, a gracious front porch with 2.5 luxurious baths, a huge chefs kitchen equipped with a 6 burner Aga including 2 ovens and a broiler, a spacious walk-in pantry and new stainless high end appliances. A powder room is just off the kitchen. The entire house is propane heated with Nest thermostats which allow you to warm the house up ahead of your arrival. There is an easy to use built in grill and bluestone patio with fire pit below. The living/dining room, which flow seamlessly into one another, are divided by majestic hand hewn beams and shelves. The comfortable living room has a wood burning fireplace for winter months. Upstairs there are three spacious bedrooms along with 2 full baths. Located downstairs in the basement is a large additional--not included in the square footage--den/TV room which is separately heated. The basement, which has a dehumidifier, also includes a new washer dryer and laundry area and there is also a 220 line and plug. On a more practical note, the septic was pumped in 2021. The fridge is 2 years old and the dishwasher was replaced 4 years ago. All the railings and spindles on the deck were replaced in 2019. Most of the double pane windows throughout the house have Levolor pull down shades. The chimney was partially rebuilt in 2019 and a cap was installed. Additionally, there is a electrical and plug for a generator. Spectrum cable, internet and WiFi. There is also a Nest camera to keep an eye on the place. All that's missing is you!!
