Country living yet not far from shopping and major highways, a long drive leads to a private, 3000+ sf, 5 bedroom, 3 bath home surrounded by 5.5 peaceful acres of sunny lawn, apple orchard, blueberries, perennial and vegetable gardens, and walking trails.  Both the large living room and eat-in kitchen/family room open to a south-facing stone terrace; with a wood stove. Also on the first floor are a den/office, a mud room for winter wear and sports equipment, along with a laundry and a cozy den. A large master suite and two guest bedrooms and bath are on the second floor. The third level has a fourth bedroom and a warm, private office.  The lower level sports high ceilings and could be  finished into additional living space of simply used as large rec area for the kids. The garage has ample room for two cars and a separate area with its own door for lawn and recreation equipment. A wonderful year round home or weekend getaway.
