Description

Set your sights on one story living w/ a hilltop view overlooking Joy Valley. State lands to the rear and side of the home offer privacy; westerly facing views provide magnificent sunsets & stunning seasonal changes of foliage. The lovingly landscaped outdoor spaces complement an interior ready to charm & comfort you w/ oak wood floors in the entry, kitchen & dining room & fireplaces in the living room & master. English-style gardens at the entrance, laced w/ ornamentals, run along the front of the house. Other purposeful plantings in the yard draw Monarch butterflies! Inside, the kitchen's oak cabinets & spacious granite countertops are inviting & open to the dining room, where sliders lead out to a large deck and stone patio. Beyond the patio, a stone path guides you to a shaded gazebo, then wanders behind the house & along stone lined gardens. Breathtaking views of Joy Valley greet you in the living room, den/sunroom, guest bedroom & front patio. Relax under the living room's cathedral ceiling in front of the stone wood burning fireplace. Paneled den/sunroom & barrel entry. The master bedroom features a cozy electric fireplace and master bath with 2 person jetted tub and separate shower and walk-in closet. Convenient main floor living means a main floor laundry. Lampposts light the way up the paved drive leading to the attached 2 car garage, and over to pole barn outbuilding. This multi-purpose building can be used for your boat/snowmobiles, yoga studio, or chicken coop! The front patio is a perfect sitting area for looking out over the valley. Very well maintained and cared for home with a new American Metal roof in 2015. Cost effective w/ a 95% efficient furnace with heat pump and 22kw Generac generator. Backing up to the property are nearly 1700 acres of hardwood forest & access to trails for hiking, biking and snowmobiles. Wonderful possibilities are waiting for you at this lovely 3 bedroom, 2 bath one story home w/ a view of Joy Valley.
