If you want tranquil, walk to the State Forest from your back yard then this is it! Not too big, not too small - Just right, 3 Bedroom 1.5 Bath Cape in a nice area of homes. Convenient to Rte 16 & Colchester Center. 20'x20' Post & Beam Barn outfitted for a car enthusiast, concrete floors, movable walls, electricity/compressor hook up, walk up storage/hay loft. The acreage is 2.61 and abuts directly to the Salmon River State Forest. Not suited for most horses, but could be a pasture paradise set-up with the hill & a small paddock area below, or good for anyone only wanting a small turnout to manage aging, or dietary restriction animals. Would also be perfect for anyone on a smaller scale wanting to be more self sufficient & have chickens & gardens. Expand the small orchard area of apple trees and produce more fruit to store/can. Not into any of that, and just want to relax? Then do so in the open floorplan living room/kitchen area. The stone surface wood burning fireplace is visible to both LR/kitchen areas. The kitchen has decent storage w/a nice size breakfast bar/island & has convenient access to the 12'x24' deck off the back of the house. An area off the deck is mostly fenced & could be used for keeping dogs &/or children secure. The back view is the sloping wooded hill w/direct access to a walking path that goes into the State Forest. Generator hook up, auto garage opener, ample parking. Book your showing now!
