This striking home, formerly a popular Bed & Breakfast, recently underwent a thorough upscale renovation. Highlights include an extraordinary gourmet kitchen, new ensuite bathrooms and mini-split A/C units in 5 bedrooms, new electric, plumbing, central heat/air, EV charger and septic. In addition, a primary suite consists of a sitting room, bedroom and another ensuite bath. Much of the original detailing was lovingly preserved, including a classic spindled staircase railing and the distinctive floor to ceiling windows. The yard has lovely plantings, gazebo, and large barn, ripe for repurposing. What a perfect home for holiday gatherings in a quintessential New England village, and the best part is all the work has been done!
