Built in 2015, the modern barn-style house pays homage to its rural surroundings, with a layout that works beautifully for both everyday living and weekend entertaining. A dramatic two-story living and dining room showcases a soaring ceiling and a wall of windows that flood the space with natural light, framing sweeping views of the neighboring fruit orchard and wide, open skies. A three-season room just off the living area offers an inviting space for dining and relaxing and opens to an outside patio where the views are even more expansive. The kitchen is equipped with premium, chef-caliber appliances and custom cabinetry, while a butler's pantry seamlessly connects to the dining room for hosting gatherings. The luxurious primary ensuite is conveniently located on the main level anoffer a spa-like bathroom with a classic clawfoot tub and an impressive walk-in closet. Upstairs a very spacious loft is accompanied by a full bath and two additional bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a family room and could also be used as a game room or playroom. The lower level offers additional finished living space along with a large organized storage room. A full renovation of the late nineteenth-century farmhouse was completed in 2015 with the original architectural features of the house preserved. Rich wood trim and wood beamed ceilings, wainscoting and original hardwood floors retain the charm of a by gone era. Accented by a covered front porch, the farmhouse has its own private entrance that opens into a warm and welcoming foyer. On one side of the main floor, you'll find a comfortable sitting and dining area along with a convenient kitchenette, while the opposite side features a spacious ensuite bedroom. Three additional bedrooms and two and half well-appointed baths occupy the second level. The house has its own dedicated laundry as well as private outdoor spaces to relax and take in the surrounding landscape. The farmhouse was once operated as a successful bed and breakfast and offers continued potential for this use. It could also function beautifully as a private in-law suite or guest quarters for family and friends, as it is currently used. Furnished with thoughtfully curated antiques, the farmhouse is being sold turnkey, complete with linens, china and silverware.
