The house sits beautifully on the hillside facing south, taking advantage of the passive solar system in place. Bring your horses to graze on the luscious grass or your cross country skis and sleds for great winter fun. Built with the utmost care and craftsmanship by Shelter Enterprises and expanded by local prestigious builder, Jon Bailey to include a large first floor Master Suite with screened porch. Much thought and attention to detail was put into every aspect of its design and build including layered wall and ceiling insulation for maximum comfort, interior windows that create an air circulation pattern within the home, radiant wall heating for cozy warmth. Solid paneled doors, hardwood flooring, an upscale designer kitchen, large custom closets and even 1.5" water supply from the street for high water pressure make this home something special. It is in immaculate shape and has been meticulously maintained by the original owners. A large two-room daylight, walkout basement is ready for finishing. The detached over sized, two car garage has a delightful 588 s.f. in-law suite (or large family room with efficiency kitchen) with its own entrance. For lovers of land and the vacation-style design of this home, it' surely a wonderful place. Superior Exeter school system, convenient commuting location, close to Boston-Montreal train.
