Rustic contemporary Princeton home just steps from the ski slopes
This Princeton contemporary with a rustic vibe is across the street from a state park and a short walk to Wachusett Mountain Ski Area.
From the front of this home in this tranquil spot, the slopes of Wachusett Mountain Ski Area beckon. All you need to do is grab your skis, cross the street, hike the state park trail to the bunny slope, and buy your lift ticket.
And when you’ve finished the last run of the day, warm up by the wood-burning stove in the dining/living room. Its windows look out over the treed lot. Burly wood pillars divide the space, which sits underneath a cathedral ceiling with skylights.
Seven maple stairs lead up to a breakfast area and the kitchen. A true galley setup, the kitchen has ceramic-tile counters and knotty-pine cabinetry. It’s economical spacewise but ready for someone to prepare a winter-comfort meal. Nearby, a half bath withlaundry space can handle wet gloves and ski parkas. This home has been expanded so everyone — even weekend visitors — can find a corner to call his or her own.
Story continues after gallery.
See inside 358C Mountain Road:
A carpeted stairwell just off the kitchen leads to the second level in the original part of the house. Here, there are two bedrooms and two full baths. The smaller of the pair has a built-in maple desk and skylights. The first full bath is rustic, with a knotty-pine ceiling and walls.
The sunny master suite features built-in maple cabinets, a walk-in closet, and a comfortable sitting area. The bathroom is brightened by pale sea-green glass tiles on the double vanity that are also used as accents elsewhere in room. The cabinets are maple, and the tub is nestled under a large window overlooking the yard. There is a separate shower, and the floor has radiant heat.
A 2002 addition includes a highly sought-after space these days: a first-floor bedroom with a deep closet. To the right of the living/dining room, a hallway with cherry floors connects to the addition, which also has a full bath. The hallway and the bathroom floors have radiant heat fueled by a propane-based system installed in 2014.
A set of stairs off the living/dining area in the rear of the home leads to two rooms added in 2010: The first, which has no closet, can serve as an office. The second, a bedroom, can be reached only by passing through the first room.
The home, which offers a workshop in the basement and an attached two-car garage, shares an unpaved driveway with four other properties.
