For $889,900, a new Groton ranch with a modern twist
The three-bedroom home was built on the site of a farm using pieces from its barn.
It’s a modern take on the traditional ranch home.
The new house at 148 Martins Pond Road in Groton certainly has ranch features on its exterior (see its welcoming columned front porch), but that’s where that traditional feel ends. A step inside reveals sleek, modern finishes and a large open living room and kitchen combination with a cathedral ceiling, clerestory windows, quartz countertops, and stainless-steel appliances.
Listed at $889,900, the 2,400-square-foot home sits on more than five acres, which are also steeped in history, according to listing agent Paige Haley of Front Door Realty.
“The parcel that the home sits on actually is an old hay farm that was in the same family for about 100 years,” Haley said. “It’s a 36-acre parcel that was subdivided into five lots.”
A couple of brothers inherited the farm, but it was time to sell, according to Haley.
Though the land’s use as a farm is over, parts of that history remain. The beams on the front porch were taken from the farm’s barn, as was the mantel over the gas fireplace.
“The house is situated so it optimizes the views of the fields and the pasture,” Haley said.
The master suite includes its own sliding door to a covered back porch, two vanities with white countertops, black faucets and drawers, a walk-in shower, and tile in an intricate black-and-white pattern. There’s also access to the laundry room, Haley said.
The home offers three bedrooms and two full baths.
She described Groton as a “quaint” New England town. “When designing these homes, it was important to kind of stick with that feel but add a touch of modern,” she said.
