Welcome to your home and recreation paradise all-in-one. This incredible property boasts over eight acres of endless enjoyment. The half-acre pond is perfect for kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing, plus ice skating in the Winter. Apple and pear trees, blackberry, blueberry, red raspberry, and black raspberry bushes, chestnut, and walnut trees all provide a bountiful harvest. The field can host soccer, football, kickball, baseball, and frisbee games. Rough Run Creek meanders through the woods which are perfect for more fishing, hiking, and exploring. Mature trees and bushes abound for climbing, hammocking, and creating secret spaces, the hillsides are great for mountain biking and sled riding, and the whole yard is fantastic for dirt biking and quads. The property supports more native wildlife than you can imagine, and also hosts a marshland with abundant cattails.
The five-bedroom, four full bathroom Cape Cod home was built with admiring the property in mind. The house sits beneath an expansive sky, with east-facing sunrises and the pond visible from the first-floor enclosed Sunroom, Primary Bedroom with en suite, Family Room, and large deck with Kitchen access. The first floor also includes a Laundry Room, Library or Bonus Room with attached deck, Full bathroom, and a large open-concept Kitchen/Dining/Family space.
Two separate stairways lead to more bedrooms. The steps at the front door take you to two custom-built Bedrooms with a connecting tunnel, Full Bathroom, and a shared Common Space that can be a Playroom or hang-out area. A second set of steps near the Laundry Room holds a cozy attic-feel Bedroom. The Finished Basement includes a Full Bathroom, Laundry area, Bedroom, Kitchen/Dining/Family space, Living Room, storage room, and a separate entrance with a porch.
Near the house is an outbuilding with upper and lower storage and a fenced-in chicken coop. Off the Kitchen deck is a fenced-in area perfect for children and pets to play freely and safely. The home is outfitted with solar panels, and is wheelchair accessible.
