About This Home

As of November 2017

This high quality contemporary home sits perched on hillside and stands out with a commanding presence over the neighborhood and Deer Meadow Pond. This home really has it all starting with a towering great room with hardwood floors, natural woodwork, a wall of windows to let the light in, and a fieldstone fireplace. You can step outside the great room onto a massive front deck and lounge on a chair to enjoy the view. There’s a large eat-in kitchen that leads out to a screened porch, a formal dining room, office space, a cozy den, and first floor guest room. The spacious master suite has a large walk in closet, a master bath with Jacuzzi tub, tiled shower, and vanity with double sinks. A hot tub awaits you just outside on the master suite’s own private deck. Upstairs is a huge loft area with a built-in desk and shelves plus two more guest rooms and a three quarter bath. The home features in-floor radiant heat powered by a top of the line Buderus Boiler and off course there is central air conditioning. Outside you will find your private playground with an in-ground pool, your own baseball diamond, and water frontage on Deer Meadow Pond in case you want to go kayaking or canoeing. There’s a two car attached garage and a massive detached four car (plus) garage that will hold that motor coach you have always wanted! The grounds are impeccable with stone walls, mature plantings, and a lush irrigated lawn. So come out and check out life at Deer Meadow Pond, you might just love it..
