Antique farmhouse minutes from all conveniences in the village of Lakeville. A renowned naturalist has upgraded this charming 1873 farmhouse inside and out. Extensive landscaping includes abundant specimen trees, and full-sun and woodland gardens with plants selected for their beauty and ease of maintenance. Step inside for storybook charm, with an open-plan kitchen (including Mid Century Modern sideboard and buffet by famed design firm Knoll), a main floor bedroom and a living room that gets added warmth from an elegant, imported Danish wood stove. The inviting dining room has recently been upgraded with new encaustic tiles; all other downstairs floors are hardwood. Upstairs, the spacious and open landing can be an extra room, a refuge, a reading nook. There are two upstairs bedrooms, a full bath, and heirloom wide board pine flooring throughout. An easy walk, drive or bicycle ride takes you to the town’s destination public beach at Lake Wononscopomuc, and to restaurants, art galleries, a fitness center and shopping. Minutes from several independent boarding schools with international reputations — all only two hours from NYC.
