This meticulously maintained 3 bedroom ranch home was built in 1989. The most recent owner put much attention into its care and love into the land. Several outbuildings with fenced area which accommodated goats in past years. Tucked up on the hillside, it provides a unique privacy from the road, and enhances the views of the meadows and rolling hills. Stone walls, established gardens, and trails winding through the property make this wonderful land to enjoy year round. The paved driveway leads up to a spacious 2 car garage with direct entry to the house, something to appreciate when winter rolls back around. The kitchen/dining room area open to the living room. Sit back enjoy the gorgeous views from the window, or cozy up with a book in front of the fireplace. Down the hall you find a full bathroom, a closet with a washer and dryer (no need to navigate steps with a full clothes basket), and 3 bedrooms. The basement has 8 foot ceilings and offers so much potential to have a great workshop, ample storage, or even finish off part of the area for additional living space. This property is well insulated and efficient, and also offers the option of heating with a wood boiler. No need to worry about power outages, as there is a whole house, on demand generator. ECFiber is also available at the road. The location is the perfect balance of country living and yet just 0.7 miles to South Strafford Village.
