Description

Perched atop a scenic ridge, this well-appointed contemporary farmhouse offers mountain views across open cornfields and pastoral countryside. 3 signature dormers define its charming character, while a private rural setting delivers true tranquility — all just minutes from town. The 1930s property is thoughtfully laid out across two floors, with warm wood flooring, trim, and doors throughout the main living areas and a cohesive, understated palette that lends every room a calm, contemporary feel. A convenient mudroom connects seamlessly from an oversized insulated 2-car garage and serves as a well-organized transition space complete with a half bath, laundry, folding shelf, and storage closets. A guest bedroom sits just off this wing. The heart of the home is an open great room where living and kitchen flow naturally together. A glass slider opens onto a large wood deck — the ideal vantage point for the view of the pond, barn, and surrounding landscape. The kitchen features solid Wood Mode cabinetry, a 5-burner gas range, wall oven, and full suite of appliances. An Avalon wood-burning stove in a striking floor-to-ceiling brick surround anchors the space with warmth and architectural character. The main-floor primary bedroom offers 3 large windows, 2 closets, and a hardwood-floored office alcove. The adjacent full bath includes a jetted soaking tub and standing shower. Upstairs, beneath the dormers, are 3 additional rooms served by a full central bath. The home features a dual-fuel hydronic heating system that combines a wood and an oil furnace for efficient, flexible comfort. Both heat water that circulates throughout the house, with the oil burner automatically taking over when the wood fire slows down, reducing oil use and fuel costs. The system can also supply domestic hot water, complemented by a separate electric water heater for added convenience and reliability. Outside, 30+ acres include a large metal barn with poured concrete floor and full electricity, chicken and duck coops, an above-ground pool with deck, and a quarter-acre pond that frames the view beautifully from the main living areas. Homes of this character and setting are genuinely rare.
