This three bedroom, 3.5 bath cape is unusual in that it is much deeper than most, creating a spacious first floor plan including a large front foyer graced by a turned staircase. Everything that matters is new inside. An impeccable and upscale interior finish includes floors of pegged wide pine, marble, tile and pegged oak in the family room. Those who love 18th & 19th century interiors will love living here. Marvin 12 over 12 windows were added, chair rail and wainscoting, thumblatch hardware and every modern convenience has been quietly incorporated into the dcor.

Entering through the front door, guests will step in an inviting formal living room with a view over the pond. Raised paneling encases its brick fireplace. A double doorway leads to the formal dining room beyond, making this the ideal floor plan for those who love to entertain. To the right of the front entry is a large and attractive home office or library. From the front entry, the hallway leads back to the kitchen and a right turn brings you to the side or service hall with upscale powder room and laundry. The sunny side airlock entry with quarry tile floor leads to the heated three car garage.

The kitchen is lovely and boasts raised panel cabinetry with granite work surfaces, breakfast bar and everyday dining space. Appliances include a Subzero fridge, Fisher-Paykel dishwasher, and a microwave drawer all stainless. The cooking area is encased in brick and features a Viking gas cooktop with pot filler, a warming oven, and gas double ovens. Any serious cook would be happy here. Open from the kitchen is a family room with cathedral ceiling with exposed beams, a music cabinet and plank walls.

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

Outside there is something for everyone. Car collectors, inventors and tinkerers will spend many hours in the heated garage workshop and the equestrian can keep up to four horses in the barn. The site is over 100 acres and includes substantial frontage on Whittier Pond. Many acres (about 60, according to the owner) have been recently cleared and most are planted with pasture mix. Some fields had their first ever hay crop two years ago, others are newly planted to pasture grass and one has its first cover of nitrogen-producing rye grass. Interior roads are very drivable with vehicles so walking the dog, jogging, training the carriage horse or just teaching a youngster how to drive can all be done on your own land!
