Welcome home to 78 Mud Pond.

This lovely 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom historic home has been completely restored and renovated to the studs with all new electrical, plumbing and mechanicals and septic tank. Now in turn key condition, the home was designed as a high-end country retreat with modern amenities such as: central heat and A/C, a remote controlled gas fireplace, smart home features with fast WiFi and beautiful fixtures at every turn. 

Past the open porch and porch swing, you are welcomed by a large entry room which could easily be used as a formal dining room. Storage is abundant with a large coat closet, a utility closet with electrical for your Dyson and concealed under the stair storage. There is a large first floor bedroom with corner exposure and views of the garden, perfect for visiting parents and guests. The full sized first floor bathroom features an oversized walk-in shower with glass encasement, handmade subway tile, rubbed bronze fixtures, a large vanity with great storage and open counter space that doubles as a folding table for the adjacent laundry room. The great room is surrounded on three sides by window, flooded with natural light all day and surround by views of the trees.

The kitchen has been completely redesigned with family living and entertaining in mind. Custom cabinets and a large pantry flank two sides of the walls and are anchored with an oversized butcher block island. Ideal for prep work, gathering and eating. Built-in under cabinet trash and recycling, microwave and spice racks allows for your space to be beautiful and organized. A vintage 40 inch cast iron sink is in keeping with the homes time period and sits under a window looking out to the backyard garden. All new appliances, durable Corian countertops, open shelving and hand forged brass hardware round out this kitchen that is truly the heart of the home.

The open living and dining that surround the kitchen offer ample living space and endless ways the space can be laid out. A new gas fireplace, flanked by two windows and a reclaimed mantle make a lovely focal point in the room. French doors lead to the newly built deck, ideal for lounging, al fresco dining and barbecuing. 

Heading upstairs, you will find a large 2nd bedroom with vaulted ceilings and original beams, an arch window and two oversized reach in closets. The primary bedroom sits above the great rooms and is just as grand in scale. A massive walk-in closet/dressing room is tucked in the hallway leaving the primary bedroom completely open for use. Room for a king-sized bed, seating area and home office area, this room is truly a haven. The primary ensuite bathroom, best appreciated in person, featured hand-made unlacquered brass fixtures from Morocco, a gorgeous freestanding soaking tub, a large walk-in shower with pearlized tiles made in Spain, and a customized double vanity in moss green with ample storage and built-in electrical outlets in the drawers. The oversized mirror is paired with brass & fluted glass sconces and reflect the wild amount of light this corner bathroom retreat brings in.   

The basement and garage are both accessable directly from the inside the house and offer several work and storage areas as well as a two car-garage. New water pump, water heater and water treatment systems are tucked aways in a neat section of the basement for easy access.
