Idyllic Country Home on Exceptional Property
|
Old stone walls bracket the driveway bordered by lovely open lawns. Belgian block lines the driveway as it leads past
a scenic stream and on to the broad entrance circle and the nearly level property. The classic front door with a
wonderful big brass lock opens into the center hall which leads to the generous living room with a fireplace and
large windows, to the formal dining room with a charming corner cabinet, and to the cozy library with bookcases.
The heart-of-the-house is the fabulous step-down family room with a fireplace and a beamed cathedral ceiling
opening into the country kitchen with a beamed ceiling with skylights, a wet bar and access to the side door with
its entrance porch, the mudroom and the three-car garage. The main-floor master suite has a cathedral ceiling in
the bedroom, a skylit dressing room, a bathroom with a whirlpool bathtub and a separate shower stall plus a quiet
office with a balcony sleeping area (which children love!), a skylight and a private door to the outside. Upstairs
are three bedrooms and two attractive bathrooms, plus there is a second stairway to a lovely suite with a sitting
room with a wet bar and french doors to a balcony, a bedroom and a bathroom. A real bonus is the completely private,
attached guesthouse with its own courtyard, originally built as a house for an extended family, or it could be a
pool house and a guest wing. There is an entrance hall, a living room with a fireplace and a bay window, a main-floor
bedroom with a bay window, a large wet bar and laundry, plus the luxurious upstairs suite has a sitting room with a
cathedral ceiling, a bedroom, a columned entrance to a wonderful bathroom with a whirlpool bathtub and a dressing room.
A home with an interesting and tremendously flexible floor plan, this charming home with a wood shingle roof is new to
the market.
