Privacy, wildlife and opportunity are yours at this unique property. Set back 400 feet from the road, you'll enjoy complete privacy in this 3 bedroom home with lots of storage space. The main level features an updated kitchen with a dining room that opens to a large south facing deck. The spacious living room has an attached sunroom with cozy woodstove, for year round use. Upstairs are two large bedrooms with walk in closets, and a full bathroom with laundry! There is also a small walk-through room for crafts or a home office. Downstairs is another generous bedroom, a 3/4 bath and more office space. Down another half flight of stairs you'll find the mechanical room and a large rec room, with its own wood stove. There is an attached 2 car garage, fully insulated, with a walk up attic (so much storage)! And this is just the beginning. There are several outbuildings on the property - - the "studio" was once a professional music recording studio and is currently rented as a 1 bedroom apartment (with 3/4 bath and kitchenette) for $1000/month. There is also a greenhouse, a 12x24 barn, a gazebo, a tool shed with an attached lean-to for parking and yes, more storage! There is a small wildlife pond - sit inside the gazebo and watch for deer, mallards, turtles, and birds - and listen to the frogs!! And for the gardeners - there are lots of raised beds and perennials starting to sprout, plus raspberries, rhubarb and more! All this on 10 acres - with no neighbors in sight! Come see it for yourself today! OPEN HOUSE WEDNESDAY, 5/14 from 4-6pm.
