A remarkably well kept 2 bedroom 1 bath single story home on 20 acres with pond. The owners have made this their sanctuary. They worked on the land for years then added a pond, then their dream home. Very simple lines and completely usable space. Walk into a cathedral ceiling kitchen and dining area. Kitchen equiped with upper and lower cabinets, dishwasher, sink, gas range and refrigerator. Continue through the dining area to a large bedroom with closet, then a living room overlooking the pond. There is a second bedroom off the living room with closet. The home has oak laminate floors throughout. There is a short hallway from the kitchen to a 3/4 bath/laundry and continues to an 8 x 28 screened in porch. This opens onto a 8x12 deck overlooking the pond and the manicured lawns and flower beds. The owners have taken the concrete milk cooler where the barn used to be and made it into a planter. A perminant fixture to enjoy. There are 2 sheds and an out house. The owners have a gravity spring piped into the back yard and well. The pond is a real bonus. 14 feet deep, clean, stocked with fish and the sound of water running into it. The side towards the house has stone stairs leading into the water. The yard has shade trees all around and planted pines several trees deep along the town road creating privacy. There is a property behind the subject with a road along the boundry line. There is a good mix of hard and soft wood on the property. A true oasis with plenty of elbow room.
