Lake Summerset Waterfront - New England Post & Beam Construction This one-of-a-kind home was designed by EF Bufton of Princeton/Lancaster, MA, andbuilt in 1983. It features traditional New England post and beam construction with no nails or metal fasteners, similar to the framing used in our local barns. The result is astructure with strong visual character and timeless appeal. The property includes 60 feet of landscaped shoreline with a cantilever pier and a lakefront patio and firepit area. Arecently added lakeside sunroom brings the outdoors in and shifts the focus of the home from design alone to full engagement with the lake setting. Inside, the home offersthree wood-burning fireplaces/stoves and three bedrooms-one on each level. Two bedrooms have en-suite baths, providing privacy and flexibility for family or guests. Thegrand main living room features 17-foot vaulted ceilings and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. The lower-level walkout includes a family room, workshop, utility area, bedroomnumber three and a second laundry. The main floor bedroom suite also has its own stacked washer and dryer, along with a newly updated open tiled shower. The entry foyerleads to an indoor greenhouse/sitting area with excellent natural light. The kitchen is equipped with stainless appliances, Corian countertops, and a clear view of the lake fromthe sink. Without question the post and beam framing that continues into the garage makes that space a point of envy for all garage enthusiasts. This is a rare opportunity toown a distinct and thoughtfully built home on Lake Summerset.
