YEAR-ROUND RENTAL. This post & beam unfurnished mountain chalet has been renovated and tastefully updated throughout. Nestled in wooded and quiet North Guilford, this home exudes the charm of a New England vacation retreat, making it ideal for both year-round living and as a weekend escape for city dwellers. The main level features a brand-new kitchen with stainless steel appliances, butcher block counters and a welcoming breakfast bar island. The open floor plan leads into a dining area and living room with sliders to a screened deck overlooking a babbling brook. There are two main level bedrooms offering the potential of mostly one-level living: the primary with en suite bath with stall shower and a second bedroom with nearby full bath with tub. A spiral staircase leading to a loft bedroom open to the main level, and with bucolic woodland views, enhances the sense of a perpetual vacation. The lower level is finished with another bedroom, a flexible family room/office and an adjacent laundry room with basement storage. Located minutes from picturesque Lake Quonnipaug, residents can enjoy swimming, fishing, kayaking and rowing. Ten minutes to Guilford's historic village green, shopping, beach, highways and train station. Guilford is located two hours from New York City's Times Square and two-and-a-half hours from Boston's Faneuil Hall Marketplace by train and car. Annual rental only, no pets, credit check and security deposit required.
