Property Description

Set back off a quiet country road, this enchanting late-18th-century cape sits on just over 5 acres. Step through the foyer into a classic country living room with six-over-six windows, wide-plank floors, hand-hewn beams, and a wood-burning fireplace. The full dining room follows, with built-in display cases and hidden storage tucked into the paneling, and opens to a cozy solarium leading out to a stone patio quarried in Vermont. Beyond the dining room is the heart of the home: a custom stainless steel kitchen with a walk-in pantry and garden views on three sides. A breakfast nook off the kitchen opens to its own patio for outdoor dining. A bedroom with en suite bath completes the first floor - ideal for single-floor living. The mezzanine level holds an office with a built-in daybed and a light-filled parlor. Up one more flight: a second full bath and guest bedroom, then the expansive primary suite with exposures on three sides, a reading room/dressing room with vaulted windows and lofted storage, and a private screened porch overlooking the lawns to the west. A lazy stream borders the property, bordered further by a mix of lawns, fields, and forested land. Lake rights to Queechy Lake and skiing at Jiminy Peak (15 minutes away) keep it active year-round - and Boston and NYC are both 21/2 hours out
