Welcome to a truly special Nantucket-style half Cape, privately set on 2.27 picturesque acres and thoughtfully designed to capture the timeless character of an earlier era. Built in 2000, this distinctive home blends classic New England charm with beautifully updated, modern living. A meandering driveway leads to a peaceful country setting where beautiful woodwork, post-and-beam-inspired details, 9-foot ceilings, and a Vermont Castings woodstove fireplace insert create warmth and character throughout this beautiful home. The open and spacious floor plan features an updated kitchen with granite countertops and generous cabinetry, a beautifully renovated bath with porcelain tile and marble vanity, and flexible office space. Outside, enjoy established gardens, a chicken coop, and room to embrace the country lifestyle. A fenced-in yard adds both privacy and versatility, offering a wonderful setting for children, pets, gardening, or the opportunity to enjoy a small hobby farm. Additional highlights include central air, a new furnace in 2024, a portable generator, and an oversized detached insulated garage with built-in workbench, dust collection system, and RV power hookup. A rare combination of privacy, craftsmanship, and modern comfort - country living just minutes from downtown, shopping, and highway access.
