Escape to this charming log-style retreat, tucked away on close to three private acres in Harvard. With timber accents, exposed beams, and a cozy cabin ambiance, this home captures the rustic warmth of a mountain getaway, paired with the convenience of being moments from Route 2. The exterior was recently refreshed with a new coat of paint, set against mature landscaping and established garden beds ready for your seasonal touch. Inside, the home radiates character and light. The kitchen features recently painted cabinets, offering a crisp, fresh feel that complements the warm, natural textures throughout. Beyond the three comfortable bedrooms, the finished walk-out lower level adds versatility with a second living area, a dedicated exercise room or office, and a full bathroom. The backyard has a fenced-in vegetable garden plus apple, pear, plum, cherry & peach trees, black & red raspberries, blueberries, blackberries and grapes. The chicken coop that's ready-to-go and there are woods to wander in. Lots of storage in the unfinished portion of the lower level. Enjoy all that Harvard has to offer, including top-rated schools, Bare Hill Pond town beach, scenic orchards, and miles of conservation trails, all in town.
