House
This beautiful home was built in 1863 as part of a 450 acre working farm. An addition was built in 1898. This home has been lovingly preserved and updated in a manner sensitive to its natural charm and superb workmanship.
One may enter through the pleasant shaded front porch with swing and rocking chairs into the more formal part of the house or through the side patio and sun porch into the kitchen and dining portion of the “Great Room”.
The warmth of the “eat in” kitchen resonates from the hand crafted 12 inch pine floors to the beamed ceiling. Stained glass windows add color to the kitchen entrance. The wood cabinets and wrought iron hardware have been recently restored. Added to the cabinets are the hand polished granite counter tops, hammered copper double sink with oil rubbed bronze fixtures and appointments. The warmth is continued with the rough stone tile backsplash with under lights. The indoor grill with custom copper hood, the new Maytag appliances, and new stove with griddle provide a very rewarding and efficient cooking experience.
Just off the kitchen and dining area, the sun porch has sliding doors converting it from screen to glass. It is heated with a tile floor and ceiling fan and provides lovely views of the lower meadow, horses grazing, extended yard, and pool. This is the perfect spot for leisurely bird watching. A shaded brick patio with lots of room for the grill and table and chairs adjoins this room.
From the kitchen, the open floor plan flows into the dining area with views of the landscaping, yard, and pool. Then into the family room, the wide plank floors and ceiling beams continue through this room. The wood burning fireplace and 16 ft. hand hewn barn beam installed as the mantel provides a focal point to the room, which also contains a built in entertainment center and custom corner cabinet.
In the front of the house, the formal living room/study has a bay window which is a perfect fit for the baby grand piano, gas log fireplace surrounded by a wall of built in beautiful wood cabinets, a perfect room for entertaining or quiet time with a book.
An office, half bath with granite counter top, oil rubbed bronze fixtures, and tile floor, several roomy closets, 2 staircases, and another outside entrance complete the tour of the 1st floor.
The second floor has 4 bedrooms, 2 with adjoining baths. The Master Bedroom has built in pine cabinets and a bay window. The Master Bath has 2 sinks mounted under hand polished granite in a wood cabinet surrounded by wainscoting, ceramic tile and a massage shower. The second bathroom has a sink in granite countertop, ceramic tile, and a Jacuzzi bathtub.
High speed internet and HD TV custom wiring is installed in main house and outbuilding.
