About This Home

As of May 2021

Come home to solitude when you own this handsome home on nearly 3-acres of woods. Originally built by the Allen family as a country estate, the owners have renovated this 1949 home to give it all the modern conveniences you desire. Custom cherry cabinets, granite counter tops, porcelain tile floors enhance this gourmet kitchen. The center island, desk area with built-in cabinets and openness to the great room make this the perfect gathering space. Enjoy the panoramic wooded views from the great room with three walls of floor to ceiling windows. You'll stay cozy relaxing by the limestone fireplace. Step out to the expansive patio to fully experience the amazing outdoor setting. For more formal get-togethers, the original hearth room includes a wood-burning fireplace with hand-painted tiles, built-in bookshelves and dining area with more beautiful views. A spacious master suite rounds out the main level.
