Set on a very special half acre corner lot, convenient to many amenities, this lovingly cared for home was custom built in 1984 for the family who still owns it. The heart of the house is its gracious living room with wood burning fireplace, opening to the formal dining room, which looks out upon specimen trees, roses, iris and well attended bird feeders. The oak cabinet kitchen steps down to an inviting three season sunroom, facing west over the garden & yard and connecting to the garage. There are 2 bedrooms and an updated full bath on each floor. The unfinished basement was built with the creation of a large family room in mind, with its 2nd fireplace and generous ceiling height. There is more undeveloped bonus space above the attached two car garage, with potential to become a home office or artist studio. Town water, private septic, very well maintained wood shingle exterior, 100 amp service.
