Tucked away on a private, wooded 3+ acre setting with its own stocked pond, this one-of-a-kind Swansea property offers an exceptional combination of space, character, privacy, and opportunity—all just minutes from everyday conveniences. With dual residential and commercial zoning, this impressive 3,428 sf stucco home provides the flexibility to enjoy a peaceful private retreat, create a distinctive live/work environment, or explore a variety of possibilities. A long, tree-lined drive leads to the home’s dramatic rooflines and welcoming covered entry. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and rustic wood beams immediately set this home apart. Adding an incredible piece of local history, some of the beams were salvaged from Swansea’s former railroad station, now home to LongStory Coffee. The spacious eat-in kitchen features granite countertops, stainless appliances, a gas range, indoor grill, tile backsplash, built-in wine refrigerator, and a charming bay-window breakfast nook. Multiple dining and gathering spaces provide plenty of room for entertaining, while the inviting family room features a brick, wood-burning fireplace with gas starter for cozy evenings at home. Four spacious bedrooms and 2.5 baths include a generously sized primary suite, while the home’s flexible layout provides options for guests, multigenerational living, or dedicated office space. The setting is equally impressive. Step outside to expansive outdoor living areas overlooking mature woods and a private stocked pond alive with fish, turtles, and abundant wildlife. Relax on the multi-level deck, enjoy the picturesque garden, or simply take in the privacy and natural surroundings rarely found this close to town. Exceptional functionality continues with an oversized 3-bay tuck-under garage, abundant additional parking, a detached pole barn/outbuilding ideal for storage, hobbies, or equipment, a dedicated dog run, and an impressive 17x42 basement workshop with separate 100-amp electrical service. For those considering the property’s commercial potential, additional business parking is located at the upper portion of the property with an ADA-compliant path providing access to both entrances. Whether you’re searching for acreage and privacy, room for hobbies and projects, a distinctive home with local history, or the flexibility of a live/work property, this truly unique offering delivers possibilities that are difficult to duplicate. Enjoy the feeling of a secluded country retreat while remaining remarkably close to Swansea shopping, dining, and conveniences. Sale includes two parcels. Parcel one 2.05 acres with 2025 tax of $8193 and owner occupied exemption; Parcel two 1.76 acres with 2025 tax of $1459 and no exemptions.
