Conveniently close to state road 60 and bustling Brandon, country serenity beckons. From Washington Road, enormous oak trees stand resolute, anchoring the 2.55 acre lot and knitting together a shaded canopy that dapples the ground with sunlight. A winding driveway leads to a secluded cape cod cottage with a paved walkway and cheerful front porch adorned with storybook finials and moldings. Through the front door and into the foyer, genuine oak floors, 10ft ceilings and custom millwork welcome visitors. Into the living room, a wood burning fireplace lends a timeless and elegant feel to character filled spaces. The mantel seeks to display favorite seasonal and holiday decorations. In the kitchen, a great brick arch envelopes the Thermador gas cook top, inspiring cooks to pursue the perfect... scrambled egg! Dual wall ovens conquer holiday courses en masse. The sprawling brick-paved game room offers a casual and unencumbered sense of space. No spilled drinks could damage those indestructible floors! New carpet cushions tired feet in every bedroom. Unwind with a long shower and chlorine-free water pumped from the pristine spring-fed well. For the hobbyist, a detached shed and loft organize the clutter, lending every tool a space. At sunset, the massive paved fire pit brings everyone together, lighting the darkness and charring marshmallows to gooey perfection. Family and friends revel in fire light, making memories at HOME.
