Located at the end of a gravel road on the Bedford side of New Boston you'll find Road's End Farm. Built in 2002 by a wildlife lover and member of Ducks Unlimited, the original home consisted of the main cape that was sited to take in the view of Beaverdam Pond from most windows.
The land is a little over 16 acres, 9 acres or so is part of the pond. You can canoe and kayak from your yard, watch the herons, kingfishers and otters, too. Located at the base of Joe English Hill, the property backs up to the New Boston Tracking Station for the ultimate in privacy. The original owner also built the horse barn and schooling ring and kept 3-4 horses here most of the time. The turnout is mostly wooded and runs behind the ring.
The present owners purchased the property for the beauty of the wooded setting with big gray boulders, towering oaks, the pond and the easy commute to the airport. Wantin...
The present owners purchased the property for the beauty of the wooded setting with big gray boulders, towering oaks, the pond and the easy commute to the airport. Wanting a bit more elbow room, they added an ell and a three car garage with a charming 4 room apartment overhead for a family member, which can be rented out, used for guests or would make a fabulous home office "away" from the house complete with a bath and kitchen!
The floor plan of the main house is very casual and adaptable. The original kitchen was taken out and a new, larger one built complete with Viking 6-burner cooktop and good quality stainless appliances. The counters are granite and tile, as is the floor. A granite breakfast far looks out over the private backyard. The dining room has a hardwood floor and wood burning fireplace that is also enjoyed by the cook. The living/family room is open to the kitchen on the opposite side. A full bath, smaller third bedroom and the laundry room complete the first floor. Upstairs find two front-to-back bedrooms, each with a huge closet. They share a hall bath with corner whirlpool tub and separate shower.
For movie nights, enjoy a theater room w/carpet and acoustical ceiling for good sound in the basement. There is ample wall space for a 60" TV! A hearth and flue are ready for your woodburning or gas stove. Another finished room is great for hobbies or exercise equipment.
The four room apartment is delightful. It has a separate entrance in the rear or is accessed from the garage. With cathedral ceilings and interesting architectural detail, anyone from the au pair to Mom and Dad would be happy here. The kitchen and bath are tiled and the living room, bedroom and office are nicely carpeted.
