Yes it's close to the road. But you'll forget the road once inside this gorgeously renovated home that must be experienced to appreciate. This home is a masterclass in how craftsmanship, preservation and imagination combine to create exceptional character and style. Essentially a new home, the owners partnered with their family of renowned builders and took the historic 1817 cape down to its frame, rebuilt and enlarged it to accommodate modern lifestyles. The elevated finishes, organic materials and sunlit spaces are imbued with a true craftsman sensibility that allows one to feel instantly at home and at ease. Care was taken to expose the antique American chestnut posts and beams that evoke its storied past. The floorplan delivers single-floor living and gracious entertaining with its open living, kitchen and dining area. Two front rooms are perfect for home occupation/commercial use, with their own half bath, front entrance and separate electric meter. The kitchen charms with its stylish Bertazzoni gas range, labradorite counters and delightful pantry and coffee station. The adjacent dining area is steeped in sunshine, a perfect space for plants. The dedicated laundry room provides extra storage. The primary bedroom suite occupies the back ell on the main floor with views out to the garden and blueberry fields beyond. A deck runs along the south side. The primary bath features a glass shower and freestanding tub in a seamless design with Italian tile. Upstairs there are two more bedrooms and a tiled bath. New wiring, plumbing and systems throughout provide peace of mind and energy efficiency. Radiant heat offers unrivalled comfort. The basement has new floor, posts, insulation and doors at grade level out to the garden. Step outside and enjoy the enclosed garden beds planted with a variety of perennials for season-long splashes of color. This home offers so much charm and quality for the price. It's ready to be lived in and enjoyed.
