Fox Meadow Farm in Pembroke is a wonderful combination of close-to-town living with lots of elbow room for the family and the horses, as there is nearly 10 acres of usable land. Open pasture wraps around 3 sides of the house and its attached barn.
The house is c. 1850 and offers a traditional floor plan. Upon entering the front center hall, the flanking parlors are used presently as the formal dining room with working brick fireplace and a casual living room. Beyond is the family room with a warm woodstove and access to the porch. Step into the vintage kitchen with new cabinets with an apron sink, granite countertops, and stainless appliances, including a double oven, dual fuel range with gas cooktop. A charming fireplace has a woodstove insert for efficiency. A tiled, vintage half bath and a doorway to a private, fenced sideyard is accessed from here.

In the ell at the rear of the house is a wonderful boot room that is roomy enough to use as a fabulous rustic family room. Exposed brick on the back side of the kitchen fireplace still has the copper wash kettle intact, it has the space to make it multi-functional.
Upstairs, enjoy a bright front center hall with a large bedroom on one side and a bedroom suite with two entrances on the opposite side. Off the back hallway is the third or fourth bedroom, depending on what you need, a back staircase to the kitchen and a new and very attractive vintage bath with tile floor and period style fixtures, including a clawfoot tub.
To the rear of the second floor is a wonderful space that could be many things. Presently it is the telecommuter's home office but it would lend itself to many uses, such as a studio or writer's loft. Beyond this area is a walk-in attic for easy storage of off-season items.
A double-deep three car garage with three overhead doors is located under the attached barn. For the tinkerer, set up shop in the workshop with separate entrance between the barn and the house.
