Beyond stone entry gates, a long driveway leads to this 1958 midcentury home, set well back from the road on 7.11 acres in Bridgewater. Six fireplaces, exposed-beam ceilings, expansive windows and open living areas connect the interiors to long western views. The open-plan kitchen features a substantial soapstone preparation island with abundant storage, a full-size Viking refrigerator/freezer and a six-burner range with grill and plancha. A fireplace and adjoining breakfast area make it the natural center of the house. A separate dining room with fireplace and a light-filled living room with a built-in bar provide space for larger occasions. The main-level primary suite includes an office and walk-in closet. Its bath pairs two vanities with a large walk-in shower and a clawfoot tub positioned to take in the view. At pool level, additional bedrooms, a kitchenette, laundry, a den and sitting rooms provide flexibility for guests and relaxation. Outside, the heated swimming pool, stone terraces, covered seating and outdoor dining areas open onto broad lawns and flowering gardens. Apple, pear, plumb and peach trees mingle with mature willows, and stone walls define the grounds. The pond freezes into a skating rink in winter; in summer, the willows along its bank are the place to sit and listen to the frogs. A horse barn with water and electricity offers stabling, loft space, storage and a workshop, with a riding ring nearby. A three-car garage completes the outbuildings. From the kitchen fireplace to the poolside terraces, the home offers places to gather and watch remarkable western sunsets. Recent updates include: New Kitchen Renovation.
