Privacy and amazing views at the same time and seeing seasons change from every room. In spring the surrounding azalea, rhododendron, and forsythia bushes are on fire painting the landscape all around with beautiful pinks, purples, and bright yellows. In summer when the trees and forest greenery fill in you will be hard-pressed to see another neighbor, but the view of the pool and gardens will make you feel like you are on vacation. Having morning coffee in the company of hummingbirds and the water fountain off the side porch will be the perfect start to any day. Brunch by the pool or a cookout on the deck will make you very popular with your closest friends and family. Sitting by the fire on warm summer nights, being serenaded by peep frogs and crickets was always something we have looked forward to, and we think you will too. In the fall, when the leaves turn brilliant colors, they begin to fall against the backdrop of the aged stone walls that border two edges of your land. That view may motivate you, as we were, to pick some apples and bake! Finally, in winter when the woods are bare make sure you take a moment every evening to look out of the wall of kitchen windows at the incredible sunsets over the distant hills. Also, when the snow falls make sure to look out the windows so you feel as if you are in a winter wonderland as you can view it coating the landscape from every room. The home is monitored inside and out of the property. Here is a list of some improvements made over the years: 1. Outdoor wood furnace- 2003 (Pex insulated tubing all replaced in 2022) 2.
