25 Orchard Lane

Tucked away in a peaceful setting, this handcrafted 1½-story farmhouse offers charm, character, and thoughtful craftsmanship throughout. The heart of the home is the beautiful post-and-beam kitchen, featuring custom cabinetry, tile flooring, ample storage, and included appliances. Just off the kitchen, the pantry/mudroom provides exceptional functionality with a utility sink, coat closet, built-in cupboards, half bath, washer hookup, and space for a dryer. The open-concept living and dining area is warm and welcoming, highlighted by oak flooring, six large windows that capture natural light and passive solar warmth, and a cozy woodstove. A first-floor bedroom provides convenient single-level living, while an overhead loft connects to a walk-through closet and a full bath adorned with handmade tile. Upstairs, a charming library nook sits at the top of the stairs, flanked by two bedrooms with access to a full bath, along with a spacious finished bonus room offering flexibility for hobbies, recreation, or additional living space. Plastered and painted walls and ceilings, along with Andersen casement and awning windows, add to the home's quality and appeal. Designed for comfort and efficiency, the home is heated by a wood pellet-fueled boiler with hydronic radiant heat, complemented by a woodstove. The electrical system is generator-ready, and the home is served by a dependable natural spring water supply. Outside, a 32' x 40' garage with a heated workshop and second-floor storage provides abundant space for projects and equipment. Additional outbuildings include a wood and equipment shed, attached tool shed, and a cozy cabin with a woodstove and storage shed. The property enjoys sunny southern exposure with open space around the home, established gardens, perennial plantings, and mature landscaping. Beyond, wooded land slopes toward the scenic Ashuelot River Gorge, creating a private and tranquil backdrop.
