Making its debut on the market after nearly four decades, this home, set on a flat 1-acre parcel, exemplifies craftsmanship and enduring charm. Originally crafted in 1924 as a serene summer escape, it underwent a transformative renovation in 1989 by the beloved local architect, Robert Priefer. From treasured family gatherings to legendary soires, this property has been witness to countless moments of joy and camaraderie.Enter through one of the home's many entrances from its wrap-around porch; the grand living room welcomes you with an original dramatic rock fireplace, a centerpiece ascending through the second level. Unique and oversized windows fill this room with light and offer picturesque views of the home's grounds, including glimpses of the enchanting glass greenhouse. The living room features a distinctive running bond pattern brick floor, reminiscent of European design, while honey-colored, extra-wide plank pine floors grace the rest of the home. To the left of the entry, tucked around the corner, lies a generously sized guest bedroom with French doors opening to the south side of the porch. A full bath, complete with a vintage clawfoot tub, is also located in this wing. The kitchen, refreshed in 2009, showcases soapstone and cedar countertops, a double propane oven, gas stove, charming tile backsplash, and custom cabinetry. Accessible from here is the covered porch area, where one can enjoy the sounds of the nearby pond waterfall and take in sunset views. Moving back indoors, there is a laundry/pantry area as well as another entry parlor area on the north side of the home. The stunning bespoke cedar staircase leads to the second story, where the primary bedroom awaits with its own Juliette balcony overlooking the picturesque landscape. A charming Harry Potter-like hallway, with the fireplace chimney rising through, leads to the two additional cozy sleeping loft bedrooms on either side, both with their own unique characteristics that include multi-shaped windows and nooks that infuse a sense of whimsy and fun. A bright full bath anchors this level with a soaking tub and windows offering west-facing forest views. Outside, the sprawling one-acre parcel is graced with a tranquil pond inhabited by a long-settled family of koi, a quaint office/workshop, large woodshed, greenhouse, gardens, horseshoe pit, and a full-size volleyball court. As an added bonus, the home is a stone's throw from downtown, on sewer, and zoned R3A for possible entrepreneurial endeavors. Experience the whimsical ambiance of this mountain sanctuary, where every corner is steeped in history, charm, and the promise of new adventures.
