BITTERSWEET - A GRAFTON TREASURE!!! BITTERSWEET ... Step inside this Cape Cod home and feel the best of 1700’s New England. Handcrafted with tools and processes used 200 years ago and with many period architectural elements, this is a Grafton treasure. Constructed to be the family home of a builder who specializes in 18th. century home reproduction and restoration while including comforts for today’s living. BIG HOUSE, LITTLE HOUSE ... Carefully selected white pine siding will be the finishing touch to three story barn/garage. Fieldstone faces the solid poured concrete foundation. Cleared land opens to hillside woodland for four season fun and exploring. Blowdown trees just wait to be cut and stacked for keeping the three fireplaces glowing with warmth for relaxing sit by times. HEARTHSIDE ... Come sit by the fireplace. Pumpkin soup simmers in an iron kettle on the crane. The bake oven warms holiday bread. The solid hearth stone invites a tin oven for roasting a holiday Turkey. Herbs season the food and fill the room with delicious fragrances. The 31 foot Keeping Room is big enough for the biggest gathering of all those you love. LIGHT THE CANDLES ... Gather around the harvest table. Wainscot trims the walls. A built-in corner cupboard displays the best china. A huge ceiling beam glows with color. Wide board floor is mellow underfoot. Multi-pane windows look out to woods. Step into the center hall and see the Indian Bar with authentic hardware on the front door and the mustard colored dog leg stairway. GEORGE'S ROOM ... Washington never slept here, but he would have liked the big first floor parlor. Bedroom, study, or office it features raised panel surround about a Rumford fireplace. Candle scones add a special period glow. SLATE & SOAPSTONE ... Sunshine fills the kitchen. The soft grey soapstone sink and mellow countertops are so special. The slate floor was hand-split and is a delight. The SubZero refrigerator, Wolf gas range, and Bosch dishwasher sparkle under the exposed beams. THE SITTING ROOM ... Evergreens and candles say welcome. Authentic candle scones sets off the handcrafted wall panel. Small pane window glass and a chair rail add to the sitting room. The wide board floor is finished to a mellow glow. ICE CRYSTALS ... Sparkle on the natural pond encircled by feathery Evergreens. If you are very still, you may see the deer pause at the pond. White clouds circle about the blue sky with the promise of snow. Totally private is this Grafton property on a little traveled lane. Serene, still, and secretly situated ... BITTERSWEET SHOULD BE YOURS!!! $950,000
