Privately set back from the road behind a park-like stand of trees is this traditional triple dormered cape. Solidly built in the 1970s, it has recently undergone a wonderful transformation, both inside and out. This 3BR/3.5BA cape has an impeccable and upscale interior finish including pegged wood floors, new Marvin 12 over 12 windows , chair rail and wainscoting, thumblatch hardware and every modern convenience quietly incorporated into the dcor. All baths are new and boast a variety of natural, attractive surfaces. Those who love 18th & 19th century interiors will love this house! The kitchen is lovely and boasts raised panel cabinetry with granite work surfaces, breakfast bar and everyday dining space. New appliances include a Subzero fridge, Fisher-Paykel dishwasher, and microwave drawer all stainless. The cooking area is encased in brick and features a Viking gas cooktop with pot filler, a warming oven, and double gas wall ovens. Any serious cook would be happy here.

Upstairs is restful and has great architectural appeal as the triple dormers create interesting lines and allow for wonderful cross-ventilation and great natural light. Two generous bedrooms share the hall marble bath. The master bedroom is soothing, both in its natural light and the fact that you wake up facing Whittier Pond. Its bath is upscale, as well.

Car collectors, inventors and tinkerers will spend many hours in the 40 x 40 heated garage /workshop and the equestrian can keep up to four horses in the 36 x 36 like-new barn. The site is about 96 acres and includes extensive frontage on Whittier Pond. Many acres have been recently cleared and there are two fields planted to pasture grass and one with its first cover of annual rye grass. Interior roads are very drivable so walking the dog, jogging, or training the carriage horse. Only ten minutes from the state capital, enjoy a world of your own when you are home.
