The grounds are nicely landscaped with a manicured lawn including twenty raised beds in the garden area as well as raspberry, blackberry, and blueberry plants. The property of nearly an acre includes deer fencing to the rear which also affords privacy and security for your children and pets. Other outdoor features include a spacious sandstone patio with fireplace, the basic structure of a greenhouse and a large capacity storage shed with electricity for your toys, tools and garden equipment. The basement/lower level features the geothermal environmental control system installed in 2017 that, together with 85 solar panels, makes the property remarkably energy efficient.
This lower level also contains a large area suitable for a workshop and a large bedroom with direct access to a full bath suitable for an inlaw suite or rental unit with private entrance.

The spacious bedrooms feature beautifully refinished white oak flooring and generous closet space. The bright and inviting kitchen features Corian countertops, new refrigerator, gas range and Advantium ovens combining microwave, halogen light and convection to significantly reduce cooking times.

A special and unique feature of the property is the Glass Conservatory, a magnificent addition inspired by English architecture that includes a ceramic tile floor with radiant heat, two natural gas fireplaces with heatilator completely surrounded by glass windows. This room must be seen to be appreciated and is sure to be a cozy sanctuary for kids of all ages in the winter. A central vacuum system throughout the house provides additional convenience and efficiency. The hot water heating system consists of the primary heater and a preheater using geothermal energy to further reduce energy demand.
