Sunny Knoll Farm is situated on 5+ very usable acres with the improvements situated in the middle of the lot. Accessed by a maple-lined driveway, everything is well set back from the road with grass paddocks behind the house and barns. Nearly every inch of the land is open and in pasture, something that is hard to find in a country residential setting. The land to the left, in fields, and the fields and woodlands directly behind the property have been conserved for future generations so the setting wont change. Use the abutting trails for a short hack or to walk the dog. What a perk!
The house at Sunny Knoll is a rambling cape with a very adaptable floor plan. The design will appeal to both contemporary and country dcor lovers alike. Inside, the entire house has been freshly painted, hardwood floors refinished, some carpets replaced and the kitchen updated to include new built-in appliances and a microwave. The dining or sitting area is tile and has a bank of windows that look out to the barns and paddocks. There are 4 more rooms on the first floor, including 2 baths and a master bedroom with office or sitting room at the far end. There are many ways to furnish the bright, sunny interior. Upstairs are two generous front-to-back bedrooms, another bath and tons of storage. Mechanical systems are modern with a nearly-new boiler and separate on-demand hot water. The attached two-car garage with auto openers has walk-up overhead storage and is great for putting up outdoor furniture and other seasonal items at summers end.
For the rider, the horse barn was constructed in 1988 and has been well cared for. It is bright and well-ventilated and has a walk-up loft for hay and bedding storage. The aisle is matted as are the stalls. An equipment or loose bedding storage area could easily hold that mini! Into other farm animals instead? This property is also ideal for alpaca breeders, dairy goats or a flock of sheep. Just add no-climb fencing inside the cedar rail fence. There is a second barn close by, built in 1997, that is perfect for tractor and equipment storage. An additional box stall with direct access to turnout was built into one corner for a total of 5 boxstalls on the property. Everything the serious equestrian needs is here to run a manageable and efficient farm.
