Tucked away on 4.4 acres of rolling countryside with direct frontage on a tranquil reservoir, this custom-built farmhouse Cape is a rare find. Thoughtfully constructed in 2002 and lovingly maintained by its original owner, the home offers three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and a first-floor primary suite with a generous walk-in closet and en suite bath. Hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and central air create an effortless balance of warmth and comfort, while the wraparound deck frames sweeping water views that shift beautifully with every season. The finished walkout basement - with soaring ceilings and heat - opens the door to additional living, entertaining, or creative space. Step outside to fish, canoe, kayak, or skate, all from your own backyard. With subdivision potential, proximity to town and Route 9, and an unbeatable position midway between Boston and New York, this is more than a home - it's a lifestyle. Research has not been done - but property may be sub dividable - looking at front of the house, it is the land to the right, from stone wall to row of pine trees.
