Moor your boat in Round Pond, enjoy fresh lobsters at the dock and Granite Hall's ice cream; all just is a short 3 mile drive or bike ride away. This wonderfully updated & remodeled Cape, circa 1840, was originally built as a rectory for the local church. Through the years, the home was maintained & updated with an appreciation for architectural character of that era. Thoughtful design has been demonstrated in the 2010 addition, with care to connection the living area to nature through a spacious deck overlooking the fenced lawn and magnificent perennial gardens. The side entryway opens into a charming mudroom with built-in bench leading into the kitchen with exposed beams, generous island and dining area. On a cool summer evening, dining al fresco on the deck is a delight! The traditional Cape boasts one-level living with a formal living room, family room, laundry room and spacious primary bedroom ensuite with tiled shower. Both front & back staircases access the 2nd floor, where you'll find 2 additional bedrooms, a full bath with simple shower, cozy office and charming library. In addition, the barn sports a heated workshop, 2 bays for cars and an attached shed. Since 2013, updates include a new standing-seam metal roof on both the house and barn, installation of 2 heat pumps, new heating oil tank, stainless-steel chimney liner, & propane parlor stove.
