**Old-world character, modern-day comfort, and total privacy.** Tucked away on 2 private, wooded acres in rural Killingworth, this saltbox colonial was built in 1988 to resemble a home from the 1900s, and it delivers every bit of that charm without the compromises. Inside are 3,492 sq ft with 6 bedrooms and 3 full baths, wide-plank floors, rich wood paneling, and hand-hewn beamed ceilings. The heart of the home is the beamed kitchen and keeping room with a massive stone fireplace, a white kitchen with subway tile and stainless appliances, and room to gather around the hearth. Formal living and dining rooms, 3 fireplaces in all, and a primary suite with a wood-paneled ceiling, its own fireplace, and an updated bath make this a home for every season. Modern comforts include central air, propane heat, a huge lower-level workshop, and garage space for 4 cars with a loft above. Step outside to a deck overlooking the stone-walled gardens and peaceful woods. A rare blend of history-inspired craftsmanship and today's conveniences, just minutes from shoreline towns and highways.
