About this House

Providing Depth Of Value For The ENTIRE HOUSEHOLD, where everyone has a place, is the energy that created this home. Tearing down the original house to meet the needs of a growing family; this 10 room, 4 BR, 3.5 bath, marvel of thoughtful design, and quiet elegance, is the result. Inspired thought gave life to the low walls and tasteful pillars that define space, but do not separate it. You'll experience a wide-open family room with a fireplace, and a wall of windows & sliders that binds the exterior to the interior; an amazing Kitchen where simple and awesome coexist; A Dining Room, 1/2 Bath, Mudroom, & French Doors to a Home Office. Climb the stairs to the Perfect Comfort of a Fireplaced MBR Suite; 3 more large BR'S with double closets, and a Full Bath! Next, we'll visit a Fully Finished Basement with a separate room and ¾ bath! Add a corner lot & stockade fence for privacy, a huge stone patio, AND a surprise you must see to believe! Depth Of Value For The Whole Family LIVES

    "I have lived in this town for the last 25 years. I own a business downtown here and have a great sense that a small community school system is a great safe location near major highways within 45 minutes to the beaches then an hour away to the ski area and 10 miles to downtown Boston"

Easy access to major highways, lots of places to eat or shop, no crime, fire station nearby, prompt police response if needed, & good roads. Also, local bank has a Greenwood office, and you don't have to go far to find what you need. Just a nice environment to live in. Plus, rail service to Boston, and to points North as well."
