About This Home

The time has come for a truly exceptional opportunity—two complete homes thoughtfully connected yet entirely independent, offering the perfect balance of togetherness and privacy.

Each residence provides generous living space with its own bedrooms, kitchen, laundry, and entertainment areas. Together they feature three garages with parking for six vehicles, plus abundant attic storage. The in-law home is designed with accessibility in mind, including a primary suite with supportive bars for ease of mobility.

Both homes are immaculate and filled with natural light, each with its own private entrance. The main home shows like a model, showcasing four spacious bedrooms and beautifully remodeled baths. The primary suite includes a heated bathroom floor for added comfort, while another bedroom enjoys a private sitting room, creating the feel of a second primary suite. The in-law home offers three additional bedrooms on the main level, providing ample space for extended family or guests. Fine details—such as wrought iron railings and custom built-in bookcases—add charm and character, enhancing the open-concept design.

On the lower level, both homes feature fully finished, walk-out spaces that invite natural light and flow seamlessly to outdoor living areas. Step outside to enjoy breathtaking views from the decks or patios, surrounded by open landscapes perfect for relaxation or entertaining. The addition blends seamlessly with the original structure, with siding that maintains a unified, consistent style.

Practical updates provide peace of mind, including new roofs installed in 2024 and a hookup with a transfer switch ready for a generator system.

Set in a serene country location bordered by conservation land, this home offers lasting privacy and protection from overdevelopment. A tour of this extraordinary property is sure to impress buyers seeking two full living spaces that combine comfort, style, and independence.
