Serenity and convenience are yours on this gorgeous acre-plus lot that offers country living within 7 minutes of everything! Entertaining? This house was built for it! Both the living room and the breakfast area open onto decks, a patio and a large flat grassy area for entertaining or playing. The expansive parking agrea means large gatherings are no problem and the big back yard means room for plenty of guests and activities. Need space? In addition to the very spacious master suite with its large walk-in closet and double vanities, you have three large bedrooms that can be used as guest rooms, office space or as special purpose rooms. Concerned about energy independence and your carbon footprint? The three year old outright-owned solar system means you have no electric bill and no contracts with anybody. That's free electricity for many, many years. The 2 EPA certified wood burning stoves means environmental compliance, and when oil prices get out of control you don't have to lose your mind. A few niceties like the oversized kitchen with a huge island, the elegant breakfast area with cathedral ceiling and skylights, the welcoming and large entry foyer, the sizable walk-in master bedroom closet, and the fenced-in gardening areas make this your perfect home.
