Rarely does a house surprise, such as this. Tucked discreetly west of Main, this home is truly a treat. Completely renovated in 2018, this family home was beautifully transformed keeping “eco-friendly” in mind. The main floor is gorgeous with help from Gillian Segal Designs, it offers a huge entertainer’s kitchen. A formal dining space joins the kitchen with a huge wrap-around peninsula with seating for ten. The back of the home offers a quiet get away with a lovely & large living room that connects to the outdoors. The floor is complete with a full bath, excellent laundry & storage. Upper floor offers 3 bedrooms & a stunning family bath. Peek a boo mountain views from living room, back deck, & upstairs bedroom. Lower level had been converted to allow for family space & separate suite. This home must be viewed to appreciate the special details throughout.
