Set on 13.6 acres in a peaceful and private setting, this post and beam contemporary offers a unique combination of privacy and convenience, just minutes to Mount Sunapee and Lake Sunapee. Exposed beams & wide pine floors bring rustic elegance to the layout. Along the entire southern side, a wall of windows and sliding glass doors provides abundant natural light and access to the deck, perfect for indoor-outdoor living & taking advantage of the sun-filled setting for gardening or relaxation. This southern exposure also contributes to passive solar gain, helping to warm the interior brick wall during cooler months & reducing energy costs. The kitchen & dining area features a wood stove and a backyard view. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room, creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere. A sunroom with a propane stove opens directly to the front lawn, blending indoor comfort with outdoor enjoyment. Also on the main level is a bonus room that could serve as an office or be used as a first-floor bedroom, along with a half bath & laundry area. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a primary suite with an en-suite bath. A second full bath serves the remaining three bedrooms. Above the attached two-car garage is a large unfinished second level, ideal for storage or future expansion. Recent upgrades include a new water heater & circulator, whole-house water filtration system, updated plumbing & electrical & added insulation. Located near I-89 and just 10 minutes to New London.
