This lovely New England Cape "Bow House" is a revered country retreat that sits prominently on 3.33 acres in an enchanted pastoral setting on one of Sherman's most beautiful and sought-after roads. Boasting year-round protected farmland views and a house and grounds made for living the good life! There Is a 40 x 20 gunite pool, an outdoor kitchen, tiki bar, two barns, three pastures, fire pit, bocce court, and an adorable bunk house. Inside, the 3 Bedroom/2 Bath home offers a recently renovated kitchen and bath, large living room, formal dining room and den - most with beautiful wide plank pine flooring. Adjoining the den is a reproduction 1950's diner that offers a delightfully nostalgic ambiance in which to relax or dine. A mini butterfly staircase takes you to the bedrooms on the upper level, while the finished lower level offers recreation areas and an homage to America's favorite pastime. All interiors are lovingly decorated and offer farmhouse accents and unique relics of iconic American eras, from Colonial and Western times to the 1950's. The farmland views, 3-stall horse barn and 3 newly fenced pastures are ideal for horses and/or other farm animals. There is a whole house generator, heated garage, and mature specimen plantings. There is also nearby access to miles of walking/hiking trails. This is a perfect mini compound for weekend or year-round living in total privacy amid a beautiful country setting located less than 90 minutes from Manhattan Bow House Inc. is the name of a Massachusetts firm that created architectural designs for homeowners who want houses built along the lines of traditional Cape Cod structures. The bowed roof is an homage to the Cape's connection to the sea; the techniques of making ships are applied to the framing of the roof, which is designed to shed snow and rain and be resistant to winds.
