About This Home

As of August 2019

If the enchanting exterior of this cedar shake French Country home doesn't have you totally smitten at first glance, then the 2-plus-acre, park-like setting is sure to win you over. A manicured boxwood garden greets guests in front, while the back is studded with flowering trees and enveloped by the privacy of protected land. All of it is discreetly fenced to thwart wandering deer. Exercise your green thumb or just soak up the serenity on the deck or screened porch. The interior is traditional in style, but modern in function with a main floor master suite boasting all the bells and whistles, an airy central family room with huge fireplace and an open kitchen with Wolf cooktop and walk-in pantry. A butler's pantry with wine fridge buffers the lovely dining room. One-of-a-kind touches, like the antique powder room vanity, make a lasting impression. All four upper bedrooms are uniquely charming, particularly the one atop the back staircase lined with clerestory windows and bookshelves. The full basement is freshly painted and ready for finishing.
