Welcome to our home, a one-of-a-kind mid-century getaway set on 14 private acres of pure tranquility.

With over 1,000 feet of private brook frontage, an expansive deck, and a beautifully curated interior, this home invites you to relax, explore, and unwind.
Inside, the open-concept first floor offers a spacious living area designed for comfort and connection. Large windows and screened doors let in plenty of sunlight throughout the day, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The living room features a Floyd Detroit sofa, a huge flat-screen TV, and a record player with a vast vinyl collection. A cozy fireplace, stocked with endless firewood, ensures you’ll stay warm and relaxed no matter the season. For those who love game nights, a dartboard, board games, and books are all provided.
The fully stocked kitchen is a dream for any home chef, complete with every appliance you could need—including a vintage double oven, a stand mixer, a Keurig, a juicer, and even a Gozney pizza oven. The large countertop space makes it easy for multiple people to cook together.
The dining room features a mid-century sofa lounge with a bar cart, a dining table that seats eight, and a second workspace with a desk and comfortable chair.
Also on this floor, you’ll find a queen bedroom that doubles as an office and gym, a modern entryway, and a bathroom with a shower and all essential toiletries. A laundry room is fully stocked with detergent, bleach, and dryer sheets for your convenience.
Upstairs, the second floor offers a peaceful retreat with two king bedrooms, each featuring plush Tuft & Needle mattresses, ample closet space, and flat-screen TVs. The primary bedroom has its own en suite bathroom with a shower, while a second full bathroom on this level includes a bathtub and a bidet. A linen closet is stocked with extra towels, sheets, and sleep masks, ensuring a restful and luxurious stay.
Stepping outside, you’ll find yourself in an outdoor paradise. The 14-acre property includes a large, mowed yard, perfect for lawn games like badminton or simply running around with the kids. The deck extends the entire length of the home, offering multiple seating areas, a large dining table, lounge chairs, a BBQ grill, and a Bluetooth speaker that you can take with you anywhere on the property.
Beyond the deck, Gunn Brook winds through the property year-round, offering a soothing soundtrack to your stay. The brook varies in depth, creating small waterfalls, swimming holes, and sandy beaches, all perfect for a refreshing dip or a moment of quiet reflection. A fire pit, hammock, and picnic table are set right by the water, providing the perfect spot to gather with loved ones or enjoy a peaceful afternoon. The property extends across the brook to a small forested mountain, offering endless opportunities for hiking and exploration.
