This exceptional home blends a 1940’s orchard supervisor’s cottage with a 2013 renovation/expansion, resulting in an interesting, well-built house with significant outdoor patio and deck square footage, flexible living space, a large and well-equipped kitchen at its heart, 30 windows that bring in tons of natural light, surrounded by 5 acres of organic walnut orchard, all on 6.34 acres of land. The property offers fully owned 54-panel solar, a 30’ x 40’ powered shop/barn, and electric car charging station. The kitchen is spacious, with passages and counter space designed to accommodate many people working at once. It includes a retro O’Keefe & Merritt gas range, refrigerator, dishwasher, custom built maple cabinetry, pull-out drawers, direct and indirect lighting, island with cabinetry and space for seating, convection oven/microwave, and spacious walk-in pantry. The kitchen area has space for a freestanding dry bar and sofa for family and friends who always end up in the kitchen.

The original cottage rooms include the 2nd bedroom, 2nd bath (renovated in 2010), and the original cottage living room which has over the years been used as a bedroom, office, library, or crafts room. A 9x20 room connecting the original cottage to the kitchen/living area expansion has been used as a casual dining area and play/game area. It handles a shuffleboard table nicely. It opens onto a deck with views of the orchard which is great for gatherings and includes dimmable lighting and cabling/shades for hot summer months. The living room opens to a covered concrete patio with ceiling fan and dimmable lighting. From the patio, the fully fenced landscaped backyard and orchard view provide a peaceful spot to relax in the summer and enjoy rain showers in the winter. This is a house that you must see to appreciate. It is waiting for you to move in and build memories!- Seller.
