Impressive renovations and a 2012 addition transformed this cape’s 1986 classic floorplan into a delightful contemporary, open concept home. Enter the new “Great room”, a surprisingly spacious light and bright area with a soaring ceiling, many windows and easy-care tiled floors with radiant heat. A pretty stairway leads to the versatile loft (now office and TV area) and 2nd floor primary suite. The Great Room also has a half bath, and a fun bar stationed beyond the cozy sitting area and opens to a beautiful new kitchen /dining area. Professionally designed, this custom kitchen has it all. Granite counters with lots of workspace, high-end appliances, a farmer’s sink, and open shelving as well as a walk-in pantry. Any serious cook will love this kitchen! Two bedrooms, a full bath with laundry, and a 2nd stairway to the primary suite complete the first floor. The primary suite’s bath is attractively renovated with a tiled shower, double vanity, and closet space that is never-ending as it connects back to the loft area of the addition. An inviting screen porch and deck overlook the back yard. Relax here and listen to Burnham Brook as it meanders into the back acreage. The 14 acres, under conservation with Five Rivers Trust, provide access to an extensive trail system to enjoy hiking, birding or x-country skiing. The oversized garage and workshop also have the benefit of radiant heat and offer plenty of space for hobbyists. (Ony two minutes to historic Canterbury Center!)
