Heart of Round Hill
|
A broad portico shelters the handsome front door with sidelights. The inviting center hall with a stone floor and a powder room leads to the living room with a wide, floor-to-ceiling bay window to the entrancing views, a beamed ceiling and richly colored antique linen-fold panelling with built-in bookcases and a hidden bar. The dining room with a fireplace also has panelling, a bay window and carved doors. The beamed ceiling library is wonderfully peaceful with its own bathroom so it could be a main-floor bedroom. The vaulted ceiling family room with a Palladian window overlooking the side terrace opens to the lovely eat-in kitchen with a sunny bay window to the view of the garden koi ponds plus an arched window to the terrace. Upstairs is a delightful master suite with a vaulted ceiling, a balcony overlooking the garden, two large dressing rooms, a sitting area, three skylights and a luxurious bathroom with a whirlpool bathtub and a separate shower. There are three additional bedrooms each with character and a delightful balcony overlooking the family room. The studio building could have many uses as an exercise room, a workshop, an art studio or a guest area. There is garaging for two cars plus an additional one-car garage in the garden. The grounds are memorable, maintained to the same incredible standards as in the house; there are two koi ponds, maple, plumb and crabapple trees, graceful arbors and a profusion of peonies, hydrangeas, hosta, lilacs, roses and numerous perennials with the backdrop of dry stone walls of varying heights. Beautiful lawns surround the house with a bucolic meadow below the first stone wall near the vegetable or cutting gardens bordered by woods.
