Discover this New England country property offering beautifully cultivated gardens and so much more. This Bow Cape showcases exposed beams, wood floors, and timeless architectural details. The formal living room is anchored by a Rumford wood-burning fireplace and expansive windows overlooking the private backyard. A spacious dining room connects to the expanded and remodeled kitchen, with maple cabinetry, stone countertops, new appliances, and a luxury Verona five-burner double gas range. The handcrafted sunburst gable and mountain carving provide a unique artistic connection to the surrounding landscape. The first-floor primary suite offers vaulted ceilings, while a two-level addition provides a generous dressing room, laundry, and studio. Upstairs, two bedrooms with wide pine floors share a bath, while a fourth bedroom or media room with its own private bath provides flexibility for guests. There is a Vermont Castings wood stove, dual water filtration system, and portable generator. The thoughtfully designed grounds are a true highlight, featuring low-maintenance perennial gardens, raised beds, a vegetable garden, strawberry patch, grapevines, and an impressive collection of fruit trees, including nectarine, apple, plum, cherry, and apricot. A greenhouse, flagstone patio, and deck offer inviting spaces for outdoor enjoyment. The tranquil pond, custom Japanese bridge, torii gate, meditative garden, and outdoor shower create a peaceful retreat just beyond the door. A three-car heated garage provides excellent storage, along with workshop space, new doors, shelving, and a 20x12 ShelterLogic shed. Minutes from Crotched Mountain Golf Club and Crotched Mountain Skiing, Scobie Pond, and Dinsmore Brook Conservation Area. With a commitment to replace the older section of the roof prior to closing and a newly attractive price, this exceptional property presents an exciting opportunity. 8 photos are virtually enhanced.
