The house retains all of its original Colonial features such as exposed beams and three 200 year old fireplaces, while incorporating smart home features such as a Lutron system to remotely control lights, heating and air conditioning from any iPhone, remote controlled cameras, security system and wired in-wall Sonos music system. Several commercial grade routers insure a strong wifi signal throughout, even when standing on the road! Antique hardwood floors complement the original heart pine floors in the house and extensive lighting throughout allows customized levels of light in every room. The property consists of 3 lots: (1) the Merryfield farmhouse, with a 2 acre field and seasonal stream, (2) the farmhouse pond across the road on 3 acres of protected wetland and (3) a legally separate contiguous 11 acre building parcel, currently an open field serving as a protective privacy barrier. The house has been sympathetically expanded to include a large family room with a new wood burning fireplace (bringing the total to four), a finished 800 square foot recreation room below, new mudroom, separate laundry room and a partially screened wrap around porch. The new living room addition has exposure on three sides, exposed beams and a vaulted ceiling. The large eat-in kitchen has soapstone countertops, a Wolf range, Miele dishwasher, SubZero refrigerator, Liebherr wine cooler and a walk in pantry. In addition to the kitchen and family room, the ground floor level includes a full bathroom, bedroom with working fireplace and den. There is a separate entrance with hallway, making it ideal for guests or family members wanting their own space. Upstairs is the master suite with large bathroom, beamed ceiling and walk in cedar closet. There are two further bedrooms, another full bath with double vanity and a large walk in closet (with plumbing for a washing machine should one wish to utilize that). A large landing features bookcases and original beams. The property is surrounded by beautiful old Maple trees which line the parking area. A large red maple in a flower bed is a feature of the yard, and white birch are scattered among the trees at the edge of the woods. The bank of the stream is planted with wildflowers.
