Tranquility, warmth, and stunning craftsmanship make this beautiful home a work of art. Relax and unwind in front of the soapstone wood stove, hand built in Vermont, while enjoying panoramic forest views. Cook and entertain in the adjoining, open-concept kitchen featuring a 6 burner Wolf range, professional ventilation hood, granite and butcher block counters and stainless steel appliances. Put your feet up in the cozy, custom den, which can easily be converted to a main-floor master suite if desired. Enjoy your summer morning coffee on the wide front porch while the sun rises and lights up the hardwoods and open meadow that define this elevated 5-acre property. 10', 12' and even 16' ceilings throughout the home provide an airy, open feeling. Custom flooring and cabinetry include cherry, fir, walnut, maple and redwood accents - many created from reclaimed and restored lumber - of unmatched quality and beauty. The home and separate, heated barn are fully clad in cedar that will last for generations. State of the art in-floor radiant heating and extensive insulation reduce heating bills and keep this home cozy in the winter and cool in the summer. Flagstone bathroom floors and matching stone showers, provide warm, rustic accents. A heated two-car garage adjoins the home, and a separate, 42' x 32' heated barn is perfect for additional storage, additional cars or boats, and an extensive workshop. Unfinished, walk-out basement is plumbed and ready for a mother-in-law apartment, additional guest quarters, or theatre and recreation room.
