There's something special about a "home on the hill" when the setting gives you room to unwind, explore and enjoy the outdoors without sacrificing the comforts of a beautifully updated home. Built in 2004 and set on 8.37 acres across two parcels, this 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath Cape combines a quiet country setting with generous living space, modern updates and four-season recreation. Step inside, where sunlight fills the south-facing living and dining rooms and hardwood floors add warmth before transitioning to herringbone tile in the spacious eat-in kitchen. White cabinetry, granite countertops, tiled backsplash, stainless steel appliances and a breakfast counter make this a natural gathering place, with plenty of room to gather around the table. A full bath with laundry completes the main level. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including two larger bedrooms with private en-suite baths, plus a walk-in closet in the primary. The finished walkout lower level adds living space with a family/game room and inset nook perfect for a reading corner, play zone or gaming alcove. A centrally located half bath is convenient for guests, while a separate office/flex room provides space to work, create or make your own. Radiant heat serves the main and lower levels, baseboard heat upstairs, and four ductless mini-splits provide cooling and supplemental heat throughout. Then there's the part of this property that may tempt you to spend more time outside. Classic French doors open to the back deck overlooking stone walls, garden areas and the peaceful backyard beyond. A freestanding pergola creates a cozy outdoor retreat, with full-length curtains perfect for filtering the afternoon sun, blocking out crosswinds or simply enjoying a little extra privacy. Complete with ambient lighting, it feels like a natural extension of the home-just as inviting for morning coffee, dinner outside or cozy, starlit evenings. When you're ready for a little adventure, you won't have to go far. Snowmobile trails can be accessed right outside the driveway, nearby trails invite you to explore on foot, and Barton Cove Boat Ramp is minutes away for paddling, fishing or boating on the Connecticut River. With room to roam, spaces to gather and recreation in every season, this home on the hill offers as much to enjoy beyond its walls as within them. Come experience it for yourself!
