Ranch Description
Vacation at home. Perfect family home - 4 bedroom/3 bath 3800sf Cape Cod on 10 wooded acres features all the “extra” spaces that an active family needs, beginning with a separate 1 bedroom apartment overlooking the pool.
Your spacious country kitchen overlooks the dining alcove and great room, with plenty of big windows that allow you to keep an eye on backyard activities while you prepare meals. The kitchen features hard surface countertops, plenty of cabinets, and a handy island with pot rack conveniently located above the range. Gleaming hardwood floors flow through the great room/dining/kitchen area.
The dining alcove is wrapped with floor to ceiling windows, affording you easy views of your spacious backyard and pool area. Indoor/outdoor entertaining is a breeze, with the easy flow through from the back deck through to the great room and on to the covered front porch.
The two story great room is a true gathering place, with its stacked stone hearth and tall windows offering views of your wooded front yard.
Your master bedroom will be a true retreat - with gleaming wood floors, tall windows, and detailed trim. Notice the two entrances to the master bath and closet area - very handy when two of you are getting ready in the morning. Separate shower and tub, of course, and dual sinks with expansive custom cabinetry.
The main level features two additional bedrooms - one with an adorable loft area. Upstairs you’ll find the fourth bedroom, with its own private play/study room. Tucked privately off the back stairwell is a huge bonus room that could be setup as an office, craftroom, or additional playroom for the kids. You’ll also enjoy the loft overlooking the great room, easily accessed from the front stairway.
Downstairs there’s a wonderful family room perfect for gathering to watch the Big Game, or listening to music.
With such wonderful outdoor features in this property, the mudroom just off the back deck may be your most appreciated room. With easy-clean tile floors, and plenty of room to store boots, coats, and backpacks, the mudroom will be where you direct traffic. The spacious laundry room is just off the mudroom.
Imagine meals served in your big screened porch - no need to change out of wet bathing suits! Its also a great place for messy craft projects, or quiet nights with a glass of wine listening to the sounds of nature. There’s plenty of room to run around in your large, level backyard, and with 10 mostly wooded acres, the games will be endless.
The pool and poolhouse are a world of their own, just steps away from the main home. L-shaped in ground pool is large enough to host brave and timid swimmers at the same time, with plenty of room for poolside chairs. Set the grill up poolside - with the 1000sf apartment above, you have easy access to a full kitchen (and bath), so no need to head over to the big house for summer meals.
Car people will appreciate the two car attached garage, plus three car detached garage (below the poolhouse apartment).
This property could be set up for horses, with some clearing. Behind the home are about 4 acres of level woods. There are two adjoining lots available for purchase, totaling an additional 7+ acres.
