Listing broker remarks

Brand new roof, new well pump and septic tank! Set on 4.46 wooded acres, this distinctive Contemporary retreat is designed to take full advantage of its natural surroundings. The main living area and kitchen occupy the top floor, where large windows look out through the treetops toward distant mountain peaks, creating a unique treehouse-like setting. A wooden catwalk extends from the kitchen to the surrounding woods, with paths leading through the private acreage. The middle level includes a primary suite with walk-in closet and full bath with tub and shower, two additional bedrooms, and a renovated full bath with laundry. The first floor offers a separate side entrance into a studio/office space, along with a large additional room suitable for a guest room, library, exercise room, or other flexible use. Central heat and A/C provide year-round comfort, while the walk-out lower level offers additional possibilities. Established perennial gardens and woodland paths surround the home, along with a functional greenhouse and storage shed. Located near the Peace Pagoda, this home offers a rare combination of architectural character, privacy, and a peaceful wooded setting.— 5 College REALTORS® Northampton
