Frank Malone, a locally renowned one-by-one builder carried out the design of this home's artistic owner with its surprisingly open and airy interior. The unassuming exterior respects its natural setting, providing a great sense of privacy. This embankment ranch can provide fine one-floor living, but it also includes a daylight lower level with an outside entry. The vaulted living room on the main floor features a dramatic fireplace and is open to the dining room which, with its rough- hewn wood gives it a rustic feel. Sun pours in from the deck to the east and south. The connection with nature continues in the tiled sunroom complete with wood stove which is off the separate eat-in kitchen.Downstairs there's a large family room with brick fireplace, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a separate laundry room. The utility room is large enough for storage as well. Be tucked away very near this college town's center, yet just steps away from an extensive network of trails for walking, biking or skiing! Leave your cars parked in the separate 2-car garage.
