Quiet Private Mid-Country Lane
|
Belgian block lines the generous driveway with lighted stone gateposts. The wide entrance circle and the garage courtyard allow ample parking. Divided sidelights bracket the classic front door with lights in the transom as well and a Palladian window on the second floor is a great architectural detail. The center hall has an arched display cabinet adjoining the traditional stairway, a side hall to the powder room and an archway opening to the front-to-back living room with a fireplace and french doors to a solarium in a wing with three exposures with sliding glass doors. The gracious dining room with chair rail moldings is formal and the panelled library has a fireplace, a wet bar and a western exposure for sunshine in the afternoon and evening. The cheerful kitchen has a sunny eating area overlooking the rear garden as well as a desk and it opens into the panelled family room with a fireplace as the heart-of-the-house area for family living. The back hall leads to the laundry room and to the two-car garage, plus there is a full bathroom with a sauna for use from the pool as a changing room or from the house. Upstairs is the master bedroom with twin walk-in closets and an en suite bathroom, plus there are four additional bedrooms and two bathrooms. The third floor is a large panelled exercise room or playroom with skylights for great light, and there is another panelled playroom in the lower level. The two-story barn with a wood shingle roof is a great space as a workshop with a woodstove for warmth, or for storage of lawn furniture, or for projects which usually do not have adequate space. Having a pool and a tennis court is unusual so close to town in the two-acre zone, and this property is totally useable with beautiful terraces with sitting walls, open lawns with fencing and lovely gardens bordered by a handsome dry stone wall.
