About this home

Set on 2.5 wooded acres, this four-bedroom Townsend Colonial offers a built-in library, a bonus room and inviting outdoor spaces. Custom pine shelving, two brick fireplaces and French doors give the library its character. The cherry kitchen features a granite island with seating, a wine refrigerator and a window-lined breakfast nook opening to the composite deck. A front-to-back living room and separate dining room provide space for everyday living and gatherings, complemented by hardwood floors, wainscoting and crown molding. The finished third floor includes a full bath and skylit landing, while the bonus room offers flexibility for work or hobbies. Outside, a stone patio with a fire pit overlooks the surrounding woods and stone walls. A farmer’s porch and barn-style shed complete the setting.
