About This Home

As of December 2022

Nestled on 20 acres of sprawling countryside, this Charlotte estate offers the perfect blend of luxury and New England charm. Upon entering, the wood-inlaid compass rose in the formal front hall points you to true north and guides you to multiple living areas. Exquisite details can be found throughout with beautiful Brazilian cherry flooring, Cavendish Marble, Sapele wood, beautiful millwork, and numerous built-ins just to name a few. Whether enjoying sun-filled days in the sunroom boasting three walls of European style windows or enjoying sunset views off the back deck this home is one not to miss. The kitchen is perfect for the chef in your household with custom center island and high-end appliances with cozy breakfast nook that leads out to expansive deck with outdoor fireplace, pizza oven and grill. The pièce de resistance is without a doubt the 1000 s.f. den that is distinguished by the large trusses and Sapele-trimmed ceiling. This room also includes a gorgeous stone topped wet bar, private bath, and hidden cupula (just look up). A heated three car garage is perfect the winter. In addition to the main house, there is also a separate carriage barn with two heated bays and finished living space above with bathroom. A gazebo with views of Camel’s Hump, extensive gardens and granite cobblestones lines the driveway. No detail has been overlooked in this stunning property.
