Description
Tucked away on Back Street yet close to Newfane Village, this expanded 1790 Cape offers 3 beds, 3 baths, more than 2,300 square feet of living space, 2 acres adjoining Smith Brook! Main living areas are bright, open, airy, beautiful wood floors, ample windows, spacious great room incorporating living and dining areas opening to additional seating space, a bar area, breakfast room, and country farmhouse kitchen. Built-ins, farmhouse sink, butcherblock center island, plenty of cabinet and counter space give the kitchen both character and function, while a wall of windows across the back overlooks the brook and woods beyond. A bedroom, bath and laundry are also located on the main floor. Upstairs, in classic Cape style, two dormered bedrooms sit on either side of a beautifully finished country bath, claw-foot tub, dual pedestal sinks, windows looking out toward the brook. Extensive built-ins throughout the bedrooms and hallway add charm, storage, and some of the details that make this home particularly special.Believed to have been the original carriage house, another section of the home has been transformed into a wonderfully rustic gathering room with its own entrance, vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, wood stove, and another bath with a claw-foot tub. Above, a generous loft, additional bonus space for more flexibility for guests, hobbies, work. Outside, mature perennial gardens, fruit trees, stonework, patio, screen porch, deck over the river, and stone walls surround an open lawn, with Smith Brook meandering along the back of the property. Substantial detached 880-square-foot studio/workshop building offers another layer of possibilities with the drive-in lower level. Close to Newfane Village for dinner, shop the local garden store and farmstand or pick up lunch. Head to the Rock River to its famed swimming holes, take a 20 minute drive to find your first of many area ski mountains. This is a property with a lot to discover on and off it!
