Quiet contemporary cape nestled next to a peaceful brook. The location is only 2 minutes from the Dartmouth Skiway and Appalachian Trail, 4 minutes from the Lyme Green, and 20 minutes from Hanover. The spacious main floor is filled with light from large windows that overlook the backyard where blue birds, swallows, grossbeaks, and hummingbirds nest. The warm living room provides access to a private office, a bright mudroom, the dining room, and opens to a large cedar deck including a fully screened area perfect for outdoor dining. A master bedroom with full bath, a den, and a newly remodeled kitchen complete the first floor. Upstairs is a cozy bedroom with 3/4 bath and four skylights that offer nighttime views of the Milky Way. The basement includes a private entrance, mudroom, bedroom, and full bath. Unfinished spaces in the basement include a large workroom and a laundry room. A 2-car garage has direct access to the laundry room and stairs leading to the 1st floor mudroom. Built-in shelves, nooks, and crannies can be found throughout the house, and there are a multitude of closets and storage spaces. Open land on three sides of the 1.1-acre property provides a genuine sense of privacy and seclusion. The creek has a private swimming and fishing hole, and a large, fenced yard contains a sand box and numerous gardens and flower beds. Mature blueberry bushes, prolific raspberry patches, productive asparagus and rhubarb plants, and strawberries provide an annual summer bounty. 201 Dorchester isn't simply a home - it's a private refuge from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
