This home with its gothic inspired details and wrap-around porch has a welcoming grace, as though it's always been part of the land. Set far back from the road, this custom built colonial farmhouse offers a blend of comfort and tranquility sited on 10 peaceful acres of field grasses and trees. Inside, the great room is light-filled and open, with a stone fireplace at its heart, coffered ceiling, custom cabinetry, and windows that frame the natural surroundings.
