A 1936 ranch was masterfully expanded and updated in 1994 by master designer and environmental engineer, Hank Huber.  Large enough for a family, its redesign focuses on "empty nester " use.  A large office with builtins directly off the slate floored entry makes the property ideal for home business use.  The kitchen features a vaulted, skylit ceiling, maple cabinets and butcher block countertops. There is a pellet stove in the fireplace of the living/dining room.  The first floor master has an ensuite shower bath and direct access to the deck with power available for a hot tub.  A pocket door on the hall separates the den with built in desk,, bath, another first floor bedroom and the third bedroom on the second floor.  The back of the property takes full advantage of its south orientation with a 18 x 18 sunroom, wraparound deck and large brick patio - all overlooking the stonewall bound lawn to protected woodlands.  Attached two car garage, detached 24 x 24 barn. A chain link fence encloses a 15 x 8 cabana and old pool, which could be repaired or removed for garden space or dog yard. Set behind a landscaped berm for privacy from Rt. 123, it is equal time to downtown Peterborough shops and restaurants, the hospital and associated health club, cultural events and performance venues , and Hancock village with its swimming pond, inn, general store, and cafe.  Sale is subject to approval of lender.
