Welcome to 344 Blodgett Rd. This charming 3 bedroom/2 bath custom colonial is surrounded by woods and water with a 50-acre land preserve to the south, acres of woods to the north,and a 270 acre land preserve across the Eastern River to the east. Hiking trails have been carved out so you can walk along the river and stream and connect directly to the land preserve. As you walk the 10+ acre property you'll be able to pick blueberries, raspberries, pears, concord grapes, and a half dozen different varieties of apples. Watch the sunrise from a riverside deck or one of 2 other decks on the property. As you pull up to the home you'll be greeted by a large 2 bay garage with plenty of additional storage and a chicken coop that can also be used as overflow storage. Once you enter the home, you'll find yourself in a 4-season breezeway where you can relax in a hammock surrounded by interchangeable glass windows and screens. On the main floor, the first thing you'll notice is the sunlight-this home was built to be passive solar, so it requires minimal heating oil or wood on sunny days. There's a large, updated kitchen with a beautiful custom-made island topped with a butcher block counter that comfortably seats 4. The woodstove sits in the middle of the living space and is wonderful to cozy up to while reading a book or watching TV. The main floor has a bedroom that can also be utilized as a large mudroom, a full bathroom, and an entryway with a coat closet and washer/dryer. Upstairs you'll find 2 large bedrooms with a master bath and a wonderful loft space. You'll be able to step out of the master bedroom onto a newly built deck that looks out over the property and the Eastern River. The attic has been recently insulated with open-cell spray foam and could be used as storage or built out as additional living space. In the walk out basement you'll find a new boiler and water heater as well as additional spray foam to keep it comfortable in winter.
