Welcome to Foxglove Cottage, a charming waterfront Cape on Taunton Lake with a fairytale-like landscape filled with beautiful gardens. This home offers wonderful living space and perfectly proportioned rooms with stunning lake views from nearly every room. The spacious kitchen is outfitted with white cabinetry, granite counters, a walk-in pantry, and a dining area overlooking the back yard and lake. A french door leads to the sunroom with walls of glass and skylights for even more natural light. The living room offers a cozy place to gather with hardwood floors and wood-panelled walls, and leads to the main level bedroom with a spacious closet. The bathroom has been beautifully remodeled with marble hexagon tile and a wood-look tile floor. Upstairs is a large bedroom with a seating area, beamed ceiling, skylights, charming built-ins including a cedar chest window seat, and of course more stunning lake views! The unfinished lower level offers ample storage space and hatchway access to the outside. The lakefront back yard has been extensively professionally landscaped and offers several outdoor "rooms" including the spacious deck that runs the length of the house, a stone dining table set at the lake's edge, garden seating, and a private seating area tucked amongst the forsythia and lilac trees. A stone path with two pergolas leads to the fenced dock offering a peaceful place to dine or just take in the serenity and beauty of Taunton Lake. A special and rare opportunity!
