Gorgeous home, private setting, spectacular views!
6 Brittany Lane Easthampton Ma
Located in a truly idyllic setting in Easthampton, at the end of a cul de sac, surrounded by conservation land, and looking up to a breathtaking view of Mt Tom! Set behind a row of privacy hedges, the original home is a reproduction Deerfield Ma. Dutch Colonial style, the wide pine flooring and a lot of the trim were cut and milled from trees on the property. The present owner has added an architect designed family room addition with soaring ceilings and a full height glass front taking in the sweeping view of the mountain. Also, there is another addition that includes a first floor master bedroom suite with office or nursery, laundry, and master bath. The house is sided with cedar shake shingles, and the original wooden clapboard siding. Off the kitchen there is a large deck, perfect for outdoor entertaining, and just a few steps from the meandering Broad Brook that winds by on the border of the land.
There is a large 3 bay Saltbox carriage house/barn with a full second level for storage or studio space. In addition, there is a covered storage bay off the side for tractor or lawn equipment.
One usually enters the home through the inviting ceramic tiled keeping room, with a lovely fireplace with stove attached, a warm and welcoming entry and place to take off your coats. This continues to the open kitchen with electric cooking appliances, ceramic tile counters, and wood laminate flooring. A small pantry and half bath are just down a short hallway. The kitchen has a nice eat in counter, and opens to the dining room. Through the exposed dining room you are swept away by the vaulted ceiling family room, with its light and airy feeling, gleaming wood flooring, craftsman quality walnut trim and detailing, and 12 foot floor to ceiling uncluttered view of the yard and the majestic mountain panorama. The gracious formal living room brings us back into the colonial vibe, charming with its wide pine floors, crafted raised panel fireplace wall, boxed beam ceiling, and period wainscoting.
Off the living room is the wonderful master suite addition. The master bedroom has a 12 foot high vaulted ceiling, plenty of windows, wide pine flooring, birds eye maple trim and details, and atrium door to a small deck off the front. There is a wide hallway with wide pine flooring, closets and storage up and down both sides, and the leads to the fabulous master bath. The delightful bathroom has a large jetted soaking tub overlooking the wooded backyard, separate shower stall, double custom wood double sink vanity with flower petal sinks, and ceramic tile flooring. There is an additional smaller room with skylight that could be suitable for a home office or a nursery. The laundry is located off the hallway here in a separate exterior entrance to the addition.
Upstairs are the remaining bedrooms and a full bath. The previous master bedroom is large and has a fireplace in it. All bedrooms are good size, with marvelous pine floors, and one has a separate staircase that goes to the keeping room and kitchen. The hall bathroom is enhanced by a skylight and has a shower/tub, double sink, and tile flooring.
There is a full basement under the original home and a 4 ft crawlspace under the master suite addition. There is also a decommissioned fireplace and hearth in the basement, could easily be reactivated. The systems are very strong and well maintained in the house. There are 2 oil fired FHA heating and cooling systems, one services the main house with zones on each level, the 2nd unit services the master suite addition. Electric service is 200 amp with a circuit breaker panel. There is a small area for a workshop and has a bulkhead for easy exterior access.
A very special property, in a fantastic location, offering privacy and easy commuting to Northampton and I-91.
