The attached 6-stall horse barn, tack-room, and heated farm office has direct entry to the house, appropriately through the mudroom. A very recently remodeled full bath and re-appointed kitchen are in the ell where radiant in-floor heat makes this central gathering area welcoming. A back room, which can serve as a bedroom and full bath on the ground level, makes first floor living an option. The 2nd floor bedrooms, dressing room, and full bath are welcome spaces and so located to provide for the possibility of an apartment. Views across the fields are enjoyed from the deck or screened gazebo. There are 6-12x10 stalls, 1-40x10 run-in under the barn, 3-12x20 open run-ins ...
