Just a few minutes from the center of one of New England's most picturesque villages, at the end of a country road you'll find this bright, cozy, hand-hewn post-and-beam house with a lovely apartment above its double garage. Built so all rooms take advantage of a south-facing vista for warm winters and cool summers. Energy efficiency is the name of the game with this property, equipped with solar panel wiring and an energy recovery ventilator circulating air throughout the house. Thoughtfully designed and detailed, its open-concept floor plan makes for gracious entertaining or family fun. Tiffany light fixtures, locally-sourced and milled wood throughout, Corian countertops, soft-close cabinets, Rinnai heaters, woodstoves, and a Rumford Fireplace in the living room round out some of the extraordinary features of this one-owner home. Another Rumford fireplace in the screened porch extends its comfort well beyond three seasons. Enjoy your morning coffee from the deck of the primary bedroom, surveying nearly 25 acres of fields, gardens, and wildlife-abundant forests. The broad southern view presents brilliant sunrises and dramatic sunsets. Enjoy your own, perfect sledding hill on a toboggan left for you by the sellers. Built to age-in-place with first-floor living including ADA compliant doorways and a dining room that can be converted to a first-floor bedroom. The unique pentagon walkway will keep you dry as you walk to your car or to the post and beam apartment above.
