Listing broker remarks

Room to spread out, space to adapt, and plenty of possibilities—this distinctive Barre Cape delivers all three. Set on a wooded 0.6-acre lot, the home offers approximately 2,386 square feet of finished living area across three levels, including 6 bedrooms, 3 full baths, a dedicated office, sunroom, and enclosed porch. The finished walkout lower level includes a separate ADU with its own full bath, creating valuable flexibility for guests, extended living, or a private retreat. Energy-conscious features include solar panels that have significantly reduced the seller’s monthly electric costs, insulated windows, and 200-amp service. A boiler installed in December 2022, town water, and a septic system approximately four years old add practical appeal. Behind the single garage door is an impressively oversized space ready for a workshop, equipment, hobbies, or serious storage. The paved driveway accommodates up to seven vehicles, while the expansive backyard offers abundant room for gardening, entertaining, and outdoor enjoyment. The main home is vacant; the ADU is occupied. Please do not walk the property without prior authorization.— Keller Williams Elite
