Expanses of glass on the West side showcase the view of Grand Monadnock. Complementing the oak beams are wide plank oak floors, natural trim, and a fieldstone chimney with a fireplace open to both the living room and the dining room in an open concept first floor. Granite countertopped kitchen. A staircase off the entry leads to a second floor room for office or guest use. The lower level has a media room and a second office or hobby/craft room or exercise room. The vaulted ceilinged third floor is ideal studio space. On the second floor are two family bedrooms, hall bath with laundry, and a primary suite with soaking tub bath, closet walls, balcony and a window seat from which to watch the weather change over Mount Monadnock. A tiled patio and a deck with glassed in garden house on the south side overlook the private back yard to the woodlands. Great sun for gardens!
