Private and serene, this post and beam home on almost ten acres is set on one of the most coveted roads in the area. Beautiful open spaces with rough-sawn oak beams and stairways, yellow pine floors and a fieldstone fireplace and hearth from the reclaimed stonework of the original property. Local craftsmen came together to complete this wonderful country estate. The sitting room has a Jotul woodstove and beneath a bluestone hearth. Sliding glass doors take you to the brick patio with a gazebo and a hot tub. On the other side of the room is a balcony deck. The living room’s radiant fireplace provides wonderful warmth and atmosphere for gatherings or just relaxing. Open stairways and a catwalk lead to two bedrooms and a hall bath with vintage fixtures and finishes. A private main bedroom suite sits above the gathering rooms on the opposite side. In the bath, is a Silestone vanity, tumbled slate floor and shower floor, the luxury walk-in shower has dual showers. Granite counters were recently installed in the open kitchen, along with stainless steel appliances, including a Bosch dishwasher and a wine cooler. The powder room off the kitchen also provides laundry facilities. Open to the kitchen, is the dining room, large enough for entertaining, with a deck adjacent for outdoor dining on pretty summer evenings. This is an efficient passive-solar home with spray foam insulation, low-velocity air conditioning and board and batten siding. Over two acres of the property is fenced with invisible fencing for your furry family members. There is also a built-in one-plus car garage for added convenience. The guest suite, with separate entrance, has a full kitchen and bath. The carriage house is two-story, with a full kitchen, living room with woodstove and deck, and a combined laundry/powder room. Upstairs is the bedroom with a balcony and a full bath. A pole barn can be used for extra storage, with a heated workshop or office, garden shed and garage.
