Sweet Tree Farm, so named because of the fragrant spring apple blossoms, is home to a gracious, well maintained Victorian house nestled on 5+ acres. An attractive two story addition was added in the 80s creating a master suite upstairs and a family room, mudroom and bath/laundry room downstairs, giving this Victorian charmer many of the amenities found in newer homes.
Within steps of the side entrance is a half bath with laundry area and access to the attached three story antique barn. The floor plan flows from the mudroom to a family room with wood stove and sliders and into the bright kitchen which has ample cabinet and counter space. The dining room is sunny and inviting and a bump out gives the room dimension. The dining room opens into the sitting room through a double doorway; this comes in handy for large family gatherings when one room just won’t handle the crowd! Built in shel...
Within steps of the side entrance is a half bath with laundry area and access to the attached three story antique barn. The floor plan flows from the mudroom to a family room with wood stove and sliders and into the bright kitchen which has ample cabinet and counter space. The dining room is sunny and inviting and a bump out gives the room dimension. The dining room opens into the sitting room through a double doorway; this comes in handy for large family gatherings when one room just won’t handle the crowd! Built in shelves in the kitchen and front foyer and an alcove big enough for a piano (there has always been a piano there!) add charm.
Upstairs you’ll find three bedrooms and two full baths; there is also an additional room which can be used for an office or anther bedroom.
Outside, the 5+ acres are mostly open. The dozen or so apple trees produce fruit and the foundation of an old greenhouse is there if you care to utilize it for a new greenhouse or workshop of your own. On the abutting property is a small pond owned by the Tilton School, whose campus is about a mile away. The pond is lovely to look at, changing with the seasons, and creates an almost park like setting in the backyard. The property abuts Buffalo Conservation Area, whose walking trails are almost at your doorstep.
The barn is two stories high with an open area beneath the main floor. The white washed walls in part of the barn reveal its history as having housed dairy cows in the past. Here is the perfect spot for your workshop, or to store cars, boats or keep animals. Horses have been kept here in the past and are allowed now with a permit.
Sweet Tree sits prominently on a knoll and is bounded at the road with large Maples that are glorious in the fall. The house occupies a prominent spot as you travel up the road. The roof on the house and barn is new within the last four years as well as many of the windows.
While the setting is quiet and rural it is just minute to I-93, shopping and restaurants, making this a perfect commuter property. Yes, it is possible to have it all, at Sweet Tree Farm!
