“CLAIM SANCTUARY ON 2.25 ACRES”

Relax and enjoy the beautiful setting of this multi-unit New England home that
rests, quaintly, on a 1.66 acre lot and features an additional 0.59 acre lot across the road.

This unique, custom-built home, situated on a graceful rolling lot with considerable privacy and lovely views, sits back and elevated away from the road. The pastoral setting includes willow trees, lilacs, stone walls, multiple fruit trees, perennials, asparagus and raspberry beds. Included is an additional 0.59 acre garden plot, directly across the road and adjacent to Moose Pond Brook, with access to electricity for irrigation purposes. Beautifully landscaped and cared for with TLC, this ten to thirteen - year old home (lower level completed in 1995 and upper main level completed in 1998) was designed and built by owners to look rustic, featuring various recycled materials throughout.
