ATWOOD FARM- Be in for the holidays! Enjoy the good life in this timeless 1840 colonial farmhouse, a historic gem that combines charm, a good location and a taste of country living. Imagine a home where every corner tells a story. While preserving many early features, the house has had recent updates, including a newer furnace, the electrical system, bathrooms, first floor washer/dryer, and a brand new septic system. With a traditional floor plan, features include a farmhouse kitchen with appliances, tons of cabinets and a pantry. One of two first-floor wood stoves is located in the kitchen, the other wood stove is in the big, sunlit family room. Here, you can display treasured holiday decorations and enjoy family and friends in this upcoming season. A middle room, accessed from the kitchen or the family room, has early features such as raised paneled walls and dentil molding over the wood burning fireplace, with its granite surround and hearth. On warmer sunny days in winter, and come spring, choose one of three large enclosed or open porches that overlook the backyard to the meadow beyond. Bring the horses and ponies because there is a great barn complete with 3 stalls, an insulated tack room, water, electricity, a wide aisle, and a hayloft that fits 300+ bales. Fenced outdoor riding arena. Chicken coop, garden shed and garage/workshop await. Excellent schools, Pinkerton Academy. Minutes to Sunset Lake town beach. 40 min. to the beach, under an hour to Boston.
