Gorgeous, renovated Colonial offering exceptional flexibility, thoughtful design, and timeless charm. This beautifully updated property features a spacious main residence along with a stunning addition that includes a full in-law suite and a private studio above ideal for guests, extended family, a home office, or potential rental income. Solar panels installed above the garage power efficient mini-split systems, and a Tesla Powerwall provides added energy independence and peace of mind. The main house offers four bedrooms, a fabulous chef’s kitchen with quality finishes and generous workspace, and warm, inviting living areas filled with abundant natural light. Magnificent views of Mount Anthony and the sweeping five-acre meadow below can be enjoyed from the kitchen, dining room, living room, and screened porch—where wildlife is often part of the daily landscape. A new large enclosed porch further expands the living space, creating the perfect setting to relax or entertain year-round. Set on 17+ picturesque acres framed by classic stone walls, the property offers lovely views, open meadow, and wooded privacy with ample outdoor space to explore and enjoy. A three-car detached garage provides excellent space for vehicles, storage, or hobby use, while a workshop and spacious woodshed add exceptional functionality.
