Spectacularly sited Cape on a 4.75-acre open lot surrounded on three sides by 45 acres of protected hay fields, and across from 36 acres of dedicated green space. Located on a designated scenic road, this sprawling, quintessential New England home offers year-round beauty and privacy in a wide, open sky country setting. The main level encompasses a formal living room, dining room, library, sunroom, and a well-equipped kitchen (with adjoining family room) that will delight any chef or baker. Also on the main level is the primary bedroom suite and one guest bedroom and bath. Three further bedrooms are on the upper level. The detached barn offers two garage spaces, workshop, and space above for potential studio/office conversion and is already set up for heating and plumbing. The home's original architect was the same one who designed the house in the 1948 film, "Mr. Blandings Builds his Dream House." Additions were built in 2000 and 1980, respectively. The property was also once the home of a much-loved Sherman resident who changed the face of Sherman through her many gifts to the town. Recent updates include a new 1,500-gallon tank septic system, new red cedar roof w/copper flashing, new well water tank and pump, repainting of interiors and exteriors, repaving of driveway, new appliances and more. This is a rare opportunity to own a beautiful home with a special provenance. Nearby hiking trails, room for a pool, tennis court and/or horses, and located just 90 minutes from NYC.
