About 995 Old Farm Lane

Mature trees and a split-rail fence surround this charming, two-story farmhouse. A traditional, Colonial-style roofline and wood paneling add to the peaceful, country feel. An enclosed porch alongside the house the kind that calls out for a couple of rocking chairs and a pitcher of lemonade has wood floors, paneling, and a full bank of windows. Inside, a carpeted living room looks out through more windows and sliding doors to a wrap-around deck and the sunny yard and trees outside. The living room flows to a dining area and kitchen with another set of sliding doors to the deck and patio. The kitchen is spacious enough for an additional informal dining area. It features hardwood floors, oak cabinets, and plenty of counter space, as well as a butcher-block topped island and track lighting.A cozy carpeted bedroom/office or den with built-in bookshelves looks out over the enclosed porch. A full bath with hardwood floors and a tiled shower/tub completes the downstairs layout.Upstairs are two bedrooms tucked under the gambrel roofline, with skylights letting in natural light. The master bedroom has two spacious closets and an en suite bathroom with its own skylight, wood cabinets, a Formica floor, and tiled shower/tub. The second bedroom also has an en suite bathroom with a shower/tub. A carpeted bonus room over the attached two-car garage has skylights, two closets, and its own bathroom with a shower/tub.

Two outdoor sheds echo the main house’s shingled roofline and add to the country feel. This traditional home has lots of room to spread out, inside and out.
