About This Property
Introducing this magical 4-bedroom, 2-bath, 2022 sq ft mountain
bungalow, a true gem poised for its next chapter. Making its debut
on the market after nearly four decades, this home, set on a flat
1-acre parcel, exemplifies craftsmanship and enduring charm.
Originally crafted in 1924 as a serene summer escape, it underwent
a transformative renovation in 1989 by the beloved local architect,
Robert Priefer. From treasured family gatherings to legendary
soires, this property has been witness to countless moments of joy
and camaraderie.Enter through one of the home's many entrances from
its wrap-around porch; the grand living room welcomes you with an
original dramatic rock fireplace, a centerpiece ascending through
the second level. Unique and oversized windows fill this room with
light and offer picturesque views of the home's grounds, including
glimpses of the enchanting glass greenhouse. The living room
features a distinctive running bond pattern brick floor,
reminiscent of European design, while honey-colored, extra-wide
plank pine floors grace the rest of the home. To the left of the
entry, tucked around the corner, lies a generously sized guest
bedroom with French doors opening to the south side of the porch. A
full bath, complete with a vintage clawfoot tub, is also located in
this wing. The kitchen, refreshed in 2009, showcases soapstone and
cedar countertops, a double propane oven, gas stove, charming tile
backsplash, and custom cabinetry. Accessible from here is the
covered porch area, where one can enjoy the sounds of the nearby
pond waterfall and take in sunset views. Moving back indoors, there
is a laundry/pantry area as well as another entry parlor area on
the north side of the home. The stunning bespoke cedar staircase
leads to the second story, where the primary bedroom awaits with
its own Juliette balcony overlooking the picturesque landscape. A
charming Harry Potter-like hallway, with the fireplace chimney
rising through, leads to the two additional cozy sleeping loft
bedrooms on either side, both with their own unique characteristics
that include multi-shaped windows and nooks that infuse a sense of
whimsy and fun. A bright full bath anchors this level with a
soaking tub and windows offering west-facing forest views. Outside,
the sprawling one-acre parcel is graced with a tranquil pond
inhabited by a long-settled family of koi, a quaint
office/workshop, large woodshed, greenhouse, gardens, horseshoe
pit, and a full-size volleyball court. As an added bonus, the home
is a stone's throw from downtown, on sewer, and zoned R3A for
possible entrepreneurial endeavors. Experience the whimsical
ambiance of this mountain sanctuary, where every corner is steeped
in history, charm, and the promise of new adventures.
