An incredible kitchen with breakfast nook, overlooking the ten-acre pasture, opens into a full pantry with extra refrigerator, open shelving and cabinets, a formal dining room, and lovely living room with long westerly views. One bedroom suite is on the first floor with the other three on the second floor, the sage suite, the blue suite and the honeymoon suite each with private full baths are all tastefully appointed. The interior layout is perfect for a Bed and Breakfast with the first floor suite, possible owners quarters. The large detached barn has a newly floored hayloft, a new roof, and mostly new exterior paint.
