Property description
540 Bay Road is a lovely 5 bedroom farmhouse overlooking a veritable Garden Of Eden with exotic plantings lining pathways to an oasis of calm and beauty. From the rustic kitchen garden to the majestic trees, gravel paths meander through the landscape to an open meadow. Unlike most historic homes, 540 is graced with extra large windows and high ceilings. Potential two bedroom apartment above the garage with its own separate entrance and parking could, subject to Town Approval, be changed into an accessory, aupair or in-law apartment. On the main level is an expansive eat-in country kitchen, a family room with floor-to-ceiling glass doors and formal living and dining rooms. Up the elegant curved staircase to the second level are the 5 bedrooms and 3 additional baths. And, on the third floor, two other large rooms, each with extra large windows. Exercise room, office, converted to bedrooms? You choose. This home is no cookie cutter prefab. Come home to quality workmanship and value.
