The modern kitchen is equipped with ceramic tile floors, updated cabinetry and countertops, and an adjacent sun room or breakfast room with side door to the porch, fenced play area and fantastic flagstone patio with electric awning ready for your summer gatherings.

Stairs to the insulated walk-up attic provide easy access to all your storage needs. Downstairs, the full basement includes additional storage, a clean utility room with laundry, sink, handy quarter bath, and walk-out exit to the enclosed lower porch. Numerous improvements such as replacement windows, 200 amp electric service, ductless mini-splits, new architectural roof in 2006 and new well in 2002 offer peace of mind and optimal enjoyment. Outside, lush grounds have been cultivated with native pollinator gardens, flowering trees, a cottage garden with blueberry and raspberry bushes, strawberry and asparagus beds, potting shed and a hoop greenhouse to enjoy your homegrown crops year-round. There is also a stone workshop/garage with electric and plank floors, an additional shed and acres of land to explore. Nature lovers will be delighted to watch the barred owls, hawks and phoebes, turkeys and deer, among countless other species that make their home in the many mature trees and surrounding woods, as well as the diverse plant life, which documents each passing season in their colorful blooms. There is even a massive yew tree that may be one of the largest specimens in the area!
