8345 Poland Old Rd, Barneveld, NY 13304

When it comes to the quintessential American home, very few architectural styles have been as popular as the classic Cape Cod. This 1,819 sq. ft., 4 bedroom, 1 bath, mid-century home is the epitome of Cape Cod design with its efficiency, character and symmetry. Originally designed to protect against harsh winters with its steep roofline to easily shed snow, its shutters and multi paned windows to protect from northern winds, the Cape style is as beautiful as it is efficient. Built in 1950, 8345 Old Poland Road sits perpendicular to the road to take advantage of the home's gorgeous 2.3 acre lot filled with extraordinarily tall maples and majestic pines. The feeling as your approach the home from the large driveway is that of privacy and serenity. Its pristine white paint, multi-paned windows with black shutters and two car garage are an inviting sight nestled against a backdrop of richly-hued evergreens. The loving care taken to update this home while retaining its alluring Cape design is obvious, even from the exterior, with its full-length front deck with border landscaping and the recently updated (6 years old) roof with ice guard on both the house and garage. Just off the kitchen, is an inviting family room with tongue-and-groove pine walls and ceiling. With its berber carpeting and access to both the garage and back yard, one can just imagine snuggled up in this room on a cold winter's night with a good book and a hot cup of coffee. Down the hall from the dining area is a nicely appointed neutral-colored full bath with ceramic tiled floor and tiles extending half way up the walls. The bathroom window adds character and light to the room giving it a roomy feeling. The upstairs of this home has three light-filled, spacious bedrooms.
