An exceptional New England country property with remarkable gardens and main-floor living! This Bow Cape residence features exposed beams and beautiful hardwood floors throughout, creating warmth and architectural interest. The formal living room is anchored by a Rumford wood-burning fireplace and large windows overlooking the private backyard. A spacious dining room connects to the bright kitchen, recently expanded to include maple cabinetry, soapstone countertops, new appliances, and a prestigious Verona five-burner double gas range. The handcrafted sunburst gable and mountain carving add an artistic nod to the surrounding landscape. The home has a sought-after first-floor primary bedroom with vaulted ceilings and a walk-in closet. A two-level addition adds a large dressing room and laundry area. Upstairs are two bedrooms with wide pine floors, generous closets, and a shared full bath, plus a fourth bedroom with its own private bath, ideal for guests or multi-generational living. Additional spaces include a home office and studio space. A Vermont Castings wood stove, dual water filtration system, and portable generator add comfort and practicality. The grounds have been thoughtfully cultivated with low-maintenance perennial gardens, raised beds, a vegetable garden, a strawberry patch, grapes, and fruit trees, including nectarine, apple, plum, cherry, and apricot. A greenhouse, flagstone patio, and deck provide inviting outdoor spaces. The tranquil pond has a custom Japanese bridge, and a torii gate leads to a meditative garden. There is also an outdoor shower. The three-car heated garage offers excellent storage, new doors, shelving, workshop space, and a 20x12 ShelterLogic shed. Located across from Crotched Mountain Golf Club and minutes from Crotched Mountain Resort for skiing, Scobie Pond for swimming, and Dinsmore Brook Conservation Area for hiking and recreation.
