Every convenience is just minutes away from this picturesque and pastoral home set on 9+ acres abutting a preserved farm. Just 5 mins to the high school, middle school, Pennington School, shopping and restaurants on Rt 31. The surrounding landscape is an intrinsic part of what makes this offering so wonderful. Specimen trees, grassy meadows and the soothing sounds of a creek winding through the property bring an immediate sense of calm. Step inside to find a surprising airiness in an open concept floor plan that begins with a glass door entry. At this home's center is a generous, old-style lodge/great room featuring a vaulted beamed ceiling and a cozy stone fireplace. Relaxed and welcoming, multiple seating zones allow for all sorts of entertaining. The dining room adjoins and is spacious enough to host a holiday dinner but still casual for midweek meals. A large kitchen leaves you with endless possibilities. Two bedrooms and a bath are in their own wing. The master suite incorporates a separate sitting room that could easily be a fourth bedroom with a bath in between. Tucked in the lower level is a one car garage. There's a barn behind the house that could easily be converted to a guest house or artist studio. The property is perfect for a year round home or could be a wonderful weekend retreat.
