Rural privacy and big-city style come together beautifully in this newly-renovated home near the Mass. border. The long driveway will make you think you're headed into the wilderness, but when you step onto the farmer's porch and step inside the house a new world opens up. Your eyes will be drawn to the gleaming stainless appliances and crisp white cabinetry, but your heart will lean toward the airy space afforded by the cathedral ceiling and overlooking loft. Turn the corner and the living room reveals itself as a comfortable retreat--with a wood stove and bank of windows, it's the perfect spot to watch the snow fall or the deer march across the drive. The practical-minded will love the huge 1st-floor bedroom and spacious full bath with laundry. And the dining room opens right to the deck, so you can dine indoors or out. Hardwood floors grace most of the first floor, with luxury vinyl plank for durability in the kitchen. The master bedroom upstairs is a surprising refuge, with a bright bank of windows & skylights, fireplace, walk-in closet, and a large master bath, accessed via jack-and-jill doors. There is a small third bedroom that would be a great office, and the loft is also graced with space and light and can serve many purposes. The basement is also ready to accommodate your needs, and could be finished out with even more living space. The yard is a blank slate for your landscaping dreams, and you have almost 10 acres to roam about and enjoy the natural setting.
