Rewards await on the other side of the welcome mat at this contemporary cape home on Sawyer Brook Road. Oak flooring (living areas and bedrooms) makes a great "first" impression over and over. Natural lighting gives the home a daily connection to the outdoors. Like blue jeans, ice cream, and fresh air, the open floor plan will never go out of style. Board gamers and book readers will find picturesque warmth in the glow of gas fireplaces in the primary bedroom and lower level family room. The kitchen is configured in a U-shape, which is ideal for roominess and for accommodating multiple cooks (or visitors). Featuring granite countertops and high end gas range and appliances. The ensuite primary bedroom with two walk-in closets is conveniently located on the main floor. The attached office makes for the shortest commute in Orford. The private bathroom includes a walk-in shower, double sinks and jetted hot tub. An attached garage makes unloading the groceries easy with direct entry into the spacious mudroom. There is also an attached kennel with dog washing station, 2nd washer & dryer. This bonus area could easily be converted to your specific needs such an office, art studio or workshop. The inviting in-ground pool, covered back porch and patio (stamped concrete) are perfect for all manner of socializing, fun, and relaxation. Enjoy these features in privacy, thanks to the attractive rear fencing of the large, attractively landscaped 2.1 acre yard.
