There’s a genteel, meandering quality to this house, which has been expanded, renovated, and refurbished by the same family over the last 50 years, a home that speaks to New England’s past with an exterior of planks of rough-hewn wood, cedar shingles, and fieldstone.

The most recent wave of updating shows itself in the smooth slate walkway and the set of stairs topped by stone slabs with edges sharp like newly pressed pants. The foyer nicely showcases a keeper from earlier times, multicolored ceramic tile, which presents a sharp contrast in a home inflected with the rustic style of dark exposed beams, white oak floors, and white walls. (The half bath off the foyer with the original black-and-white basketweave ceramic tiles is a case in point.)

To the right is the front-to-back living room, which has a vaulted ceiling crossed by exposed beams. It’s a bright, fresh space with picture windows on one side facing the front yard and a mirror image set of windows overlooking the back. The focal point is a working fieldstone fireplace with a dark wood mantel.

A massive stone fireplace dominates the family room, as well. Here, the parquet oak floor is stained brown to match the exposed beams crossing the vaulted white ceiling. Sunlight pours in from the windows that flank the fireplace.

The kitchen, snuggled between the living and family rooms, features new white cabinetry, a marble backsplash set like subway tile, and light-colored granite counters that pull all of this together. In the eating area, there’s a charming little fireplace built-into a brick wall.

The formal dining room, connected directly to the kitchen, has a gold-toned candle-like chandelier and a large picture window.

Down the hall past the kitchen are two bedrooms, including the master, which features a closet that starts at 3 feet high and angles its way up to the 8-foot ceiling. The second bedroom has two windows and a double-door closet.

The full bath on this floor offers a tub-shower combo, white tile walls, a brown tile floor, and a dark brown single vanity topped with a sandy-toned granite.

Up a set of broad oak stairs are the home’s remaining bedrooms and a full bath with a tub-shower combo and the original basketweave ceramic tile floor. The larger of the two bedrooms offers two walk-in closets; one has additional eaves storage hidden in the back. All four bedrooms have hardwood floors.

The walk-out basement is finished with a carpeted floor, aboveground windows, recessed lighting, a working fireplace, knotty-pine paneling original to the house, a cedar closet, and a laundry setup.

The fenced-in backyard offers a gentle slope canted just enough for sledding and an in-ground pool. The two-car garage and additional storage space are tucked under the home. The property is 0.77 of an acre.

Victoria Sergi of Keller Williams Real Estate of Westwood is the listing agent and an owner of the home. She will hold an open house from 1 to 3 p.m on Sunday, Feb. 25.
